It was a glorious day, so glorious, I felt like it's a summer day. I went up to to Forest of Dean, which I hadn't visit so much. But, I found the thing that I'd been looking for, some Mandarin Ducks, scared off by an unruly dog, and they came into my sights. Naughty dog but, it was good for me.
Wonderful captures of a really stunning duck Bob. I have never seen one locally at all. When I first saw one on a blog I honestly thought it was something someone had made with pieces of felt, they still look like that to me!
Nawet piesek nie przeszkodził Ci zrobić piekne zdjęcia ślicznym kaczko. Pozdrawiam cieplutko. Even the dog will not prevent you to make beautiful photos of cute kaczko. Regards warm.
Those are just beautiful ducks (I'd love to see one in real) and your pictures are stunning. I'd visit your blog every day, by the way, just for a look at your header shot, which is amazing! I almost expect him to fly right off my screen!
