Fishy indeed. These birds are very good judges of human character. ;-)a

Excellent photography, Shalu. You certainly got a nice low level shot of this guy.

Ok, I feel better about this. I always say, "eat a moth, save a cranefly."

Very nice shot, Shalu.

Thank you very much, Mike! :-P

Was it trying to protect a nest perhaps? Nice shot anyway.

Thank you Jack. No, its nest was pretty far away on a small island. This is right next to a busy trail.

Fantastic presentation of their comical behaviour. Love the overall composition.

Thank you very much, Richard!

Mandarin duck hen. It looks very similar to a wood duck hen, but there is subtle difference in the white line behind the eye.

On our normal day out today there is an old overgrown canal, and along with some ducks with babies there was this GBH looking quite regal.
