Mrs Mallard (+PiP)
I took this one (and the one of Mr Mallard in the PiP) a few months back in Bicton Park Botanical Gardens, Devon.

My favourite type of duck :-))

Oh,ganz toll haben sie für dich posiert in aller Ruhe lieber Keith,schön,wie sie sich da in die Wiese mit den Gänseblümchen gesetzt haben,wunderbar hast du auch für den weichen Hintergrund gesorgt,sodass der Blickpunkt nur auf den Stockenten ist :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Both are very nicely taken and composed and tack sharp to boot, set against a very effective depth of field.

ton type de canard préféré...sur le plan esthétique ou culinaire ? (Le magret de canard est notre plat régional ici) Je me demande si je ne vais pas aller m'établir dans le Devon ?

In der Vogelwelt sehen die Weibchen immer etwas unscheinbar aus. Aber ich finde, diese Ente hat ein wunderbar gezeichnetes Gefieder, dass in deiner knackscharfen Aufnahme sehr gut zur Geltung kommt!

I quite agree Wilhem..............in the case of the Mallard, I've always thought the female was the more beautiful than the male. Glad you like these images and thanks for dropping in.
