This is Britains heaviest, & fastest residential Duck, & was the last upload onto my old philflossman gallery.

Their very social birds which love to congregate closely together making solo shots like this awkward. :o( They also have one of the most entertaining calls I've ever heard. :o)

I have a lot of trouble choosing a music links these days folks, but I've decided on this live performance by Alison Morissette your uninvited. (o;

Have a good weekend folks .. Phlossy signing off

The call sounds like a duck being goosed. Nice clear headon post Phlossie. The duck seems somewhat smug. I like the reflection as well. Judging from your avie, I would say it is waiting for you to open the water gate.

Beautiful shot of that interesting looking duck. It has the markings of a cat I had years ago, except for the greenish spot on the neck.

A big duck I rarely see around here. There is a farmer 'round here that keeps one in the pond. Funny bird!

Quite a robust looking specimen. He's rather cute, Phil. Great shot of him as all your duck shots are. Have a great weekend.

Beautiful shot of this wonderful duck! Never seen one with this kind of coloring before. I love the reflection in the water and the music link.

So this is where we get the down from?

Loved the links. Thanks, Phlossie!
