I like this shot Sea and that is from an Old Coot. :) They would make way too much noise and be way too messy to confine in a bin. I am glad you let them out to grow. Good health to you and yours.
Waterfowl are always fun to watch. Looks like the young ones are trying to mimic mom. Nice detail & color contrasts. Superbly captured, Cornelius. Glad you decided to post this one.
You are so right about not keeping them binned. They needed to get out and get some fresh air and these lovley blue birds look so sweet following their momma out into the water. Lovely post, Cornelius.
