Shoveler (Anas clypeata)

These guys don't always come very close to the hide, so this was a treat, especially in the nice light we had that day.

Would you believe his eye really was the colour of my text - amazing, isn't it.

I'm early on parade today, as I've a hospital visit this morning... I'll try and catch up with you all later on.

Hope you did come back in good health and everything is fine for you. Not my favorite appointment for a day. The picture is lovely and the eyes of birds show an amazing variety of colors. Indeed a lovely choice. Well done.
