Good old Mister Shoveller Johnny O, good colours on these drakes, nice shot mate.
 
A beautiful image Johnny. They are great looking birds, although I think they always look a bit mournful with that big bill. Can't hep feeling a bit sorry for them.
 
Enjoy your sunny days as this fine drake seems to do ... good capture, well done Johnny!
 
Beautiful shot of this colourful Mr Shoveler, nice one Johnny:clap:
