I don't know what type of duck this is folks but seeing the dull plumage, & large size I reckon it's a female fat with a clutch of eggs. Surely there will be a patter of tiny flippers soon. (o:

The duck reminds me of a Baseball player that was nicknamed "No Neck". He was a short stocky guy, too. Beautiful color, lighting, and clarity, Phil. Great shot.

The more eggs, the more they waddle Phlossie. Once again you have captured the personality of the duck. It looks like it is panting. Great post.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

She definitely is fat. I like that pale blue bill. Nice shot Phil.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

That's a lot of weight to paddle around. Hopefully, it won't be long. She looks plump and happy. Good detailed image of her.

Great detail and clarity - and a happy looking duckie!
Love it and your reference to the patter of tiny flippers :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
