Ooooh my favourite duck that!! Isn't he a handsome laddie.

Very well done on getting a Lifer Keith, it really gets hard to tick them off the longer you've been at it, doesn't it.

A super picture you've got of him too - nice work lad.
 
Congrats on the lifer! And what a beautiful photo you have taken here, the bird looks absolutely gorgeous!!
 
Very jealous of the fact you were at Topsham today Keith, we love that place...Three lovely sun enhanced images, but this handsome drake Pinny does it for me. Congrats on a fine newbie my friend.
