Couple from yesterday at Adel Dams.

I love the colours on these ducks. Whilst not originally wild in the UK, they have established quite a large breeding population.

I quite like the crop on this one, with the reflection.

We occasionally see one or two here during the winter months. What an amazing play of feathers and colors. Well done!

Great shots Richard, nice reflections too. Sometimes see them in the trees in agricultural land down my way.
