A real beauty Stanley, lovely fine patterning. The twinkle in the eye and the characteristic bill shape somehow combine to give the bird a benevolent and appealing expression. They're delightful birds and this is an equally delightful image.

Three wonderful colourfully lit captures to leave us with Stanley, well done. Have a great and safe trip mate.

You've captured her pose perfectly to show off that large bill Stanley.

Such lovely ducks these - many thanks my friend.
