There's a problem with Shelducks Bob. They are so common that many birders (unlike you and I) don't bother to look at or photograph them. What a shame.
Hi Bob, Wonderful set of images of the Shelduck, I must admit I enjoy getting images myself, but they are a difficult duck to get a decent image from. Having both black and white, what do you compensate for.?????? All the best, John
I think that a name change is due here, Bob. These birds deserve to be called Handsome Shelduck and not Common Shelduck. Super images! With my best wishes - - Richard
It's an amazing duck, "our" largest duck in Europe.
ReplyDeleteBeautifull images Bob.

ReplyDeleteHi Bob. Very beautiful bird. Awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Bob. Superb photos of beautiful duck. Greetings.

Hello Bob, your Shelduck is a beauty! Lovely collection of photos. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI had a favorite marble that I'm pretty sure was modeled after this beauty. Kids should still collect marbles.
ReplyDeleteI had a marble like that, I named it, JC, funny ain't it.
