Today it was told to us, that we were going to have a lot of rain, ha ha, it was sunshine, plenty too. So, I went off expecting to get rained, I didn't mind, 'cause I was in my car. Now, I just started my sandwich, when, as suspected, two Manadarin Ducks, I knew it would be easy.
Get the water, it was that colour, honestly.......
These ducks are gorgeous Bob. And I love how you photograph them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria, you are so kind.
DeleteHi Bob Exquisite bird, shots and reflections
ReplyDeleteAh, you liked the reflections, thanks Margaret.
