  1. Your blog is the 2nd one today that shared photos of pintails on land (something I don't see here everyday....they're always swimming).

    Excellent photos Bob.

  12. Hi Bob,
    They are such a beautiful duck that have for me somewhat elusive this winter at Rutland.
    I think they are my second favourite duck, the Smew being No. 1.
    All the best, John
