Write and tell me if you see any Bohemian Waxwings, we have a new section. Please look at my website bobswildlife.co.uk. There is a photo of a Nuthatch, and a photo of the Short-eared Owl in the 'Guest Photos '. I have started a new sightings page, please feel free to add your sightings.
The bird is a really marvelous colors! They have a bad habit of laughing unkindly to us when we are on the river watching them. Greetings

ReplyDeleteHi Bob, again another set of super images, Mallard Drakes are such wonderfully coloured ducks with the green on the heads varying to the amount of sun. As for standing on ice, with my luck I would go through. All the best. Regards John

ReplyDeleteGotta love Mallards... Many years ago we had a couple of pet ducks, domestic of course. However, their food and their little plastic pool attracted freeloading Mallards like crazy. This was fine since we got to learn basic duck language and behavior. Nice shots, as always, Bob.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and clear as always.
ReplyDeleteI do like that colour green.
The colour green is spreading everywhere, thanks Margaret.
