It's grest to see that you managed to get out and photograph those beautiful Manadarins while the ice was around, Bob. It certainly gave you some fabulous photo opportunities which, of course, you got great results from. Best wishes to you and the family - take great care - - - Richard
Amazing ducks <3 In the 3rd photo he is like "what you looking at" haha
My local ducks, the pond was 80% frozen and had been up every day feeding them seeds and sweetcorn. There are 5 Muscovy ducks, plenty Mallards and 1 white duck and a moorhen has gate crashed their party. Sadly there were 2 white ducks, but one passed away over night. He was there yesterday and gone today :-(
Hi Bob, They really are such a handsome duck, super series of images, pleased you managed to get out with the ice about, super reflections. Both the Male and Female are so beautiful. Stay safe and well , John
