  1. HI Bob,
    Wonderful images of the Tuftie, a delightful little duck.
    Great you managed to get the purple sheen to the head.
    These are a bird that we get at Rutland in the thousands but still difficult to get decent image from.
    All the best, John

  22. Hi Bob. Sorry I have not visited your blog for a while - I've been away on the Isles of Scilly (what a wonderful place!).

    The Tufted Duck, although common, is greatly underated and your super images show us just how handsome the drake is whan the light catches it right.

    With my very best wishes - - - Richard
