Nice and sharp capture of the Barbarie duck Christian. Here in Germany also they are called Barbarie ducks.

I remember these from when I was a kid, Christian. The neighbor had some of these and a Peacock. It was a colorful place.
Good shot.
Happy Eas†er

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.

I like the markings on the Muscovy. Something like a Dalmatian but not quite as good looking.

This does resemble the Muscovy ducks I've seen here - that breed is quite popular with some chefs.
