Description
The brightness and polished look of the new breeding plumage is evident. I hadn't noticed vermiculation on the feathers of a Mallard until I looked at this close on it's pale flanks. He also had a steady one legged stance and fell asleep. Obviously taking a break from chasing females. It is a joy to see the goslings and ducklings about on our ponds and lakes. I've see both today.

Super shot!
I haven't seen any babies yet this year, but the breeding behaviour is evident everywhere! Beautiful shot of this handsome fellow!
Great duck portrait!
A wonderful closeup of this beautiful duck.
Beautiful and colorful capture. Love the water drops. Dana
Stunning close up.
A most marvellous pic, Kevin. I I was the right species I could easily fall for him myself.
Beautiful duck and photo.
Hmm - and what a dandy, dashing duck he is! Wonderful shot! :)
Stunning capture my friend.
Saw my first duckling earlier this week Kevin. Now I need to get my camcorder charged up before they grow too big! I'll bet this male you captured has a harem. With plumage like that, he deserves it... great shot!
What a handsome chap! You've captured him in all his finery, this is a very lovely picture :) Nari X
I like this fellow - lovely colour, and the drops of water are a great touch! Nice work.
