Lovey Ducky

Last month I snapped this mallard. Today he (or one of his twins) and a lady friend were back, apparently not bothered by the traffic in the square:
I came past again a couple of hours later, and they were still there! And the male was especially bold:
He was less than a foot from the lens; probably thought the camera was a new type of bread :-)
PS sorry about the angle, I was sitting down and shooting from the hip.
His lady friend was more shy; she kept to the middle of the basin.

Duck Roast

Taking a break from all that paddling around.

Fowl, not foul

Ducklings, yes. Ugly, no. I find them adorable. And so clearly not scared of people (I was crouching a couple of feet away from them and they totally ignored me). Probably they think humans=breadcrumbs.

Swanning Around

No ugly ducklings these... baby swans all in a row. Swan Lake :-)
