  1. WOW, standing out.... certainly!
    Lovely ducks and great pictures, Bob!

    I am surprised you don't see squirrels in urban parks. Maybe the grey ones then?

    Keep well :)

    1. Yes, it is the Grey Squirrel. Unfortunatly they were introduced a long time ago, and drove the Red Squirrel to live in Scotland.

  15. All ducks seem to have such exquisite detailing in their plumage. That pintail is a very elegant specimen, and that shot really shows off the cascade of feathers down its back.
