These birds have become my favorite spring birds. They are really nice company in early mornings. Im sure that if Pjotr Tsaikovski had spent some more time at the waterside with these guys we wouldnt have the famous Swanlake ballet. Instead we would have even more popular Ducklake.
Ian Fleming was very interested in Goldeneyes. He wrote the book James Pond and the Goldeneye. They started to film that book with Sean Connery. But the producer left off that project. He wasnt happy with the story where James Pond has his holidays watching the Goldeneyes. There was no shooting. This is the only Pond story where the Pond Girl actually dumps James Pond. The story was radically changed to film and as a result we have now James Bond and the Golden Gun. I dont remember anything of that film.. ;)
