Okay, who am I to argue, here you are - have a Christmas duck.

I'm not sure what the #MondayMallard's crime was, but he seems to have been caught and put in the stockade for it.
Also I need to learn about how to focus past things in front of the subject better.

Fancypants new camera. It does a lot of zoom - the #Starlings and #CollaredDove are in both photos!

They are #NotDucks.

The #MondayMallard is a mighty flapper.

This must be a shy duck as it dove when I took its photo - so maybe don’t tell everyone that it is the #DuckOfTheDay

#ThreeDuckThursday is brought to you by a trio of #Teal this week.

#Shovellers, and, I think, #Pochard at #WWTWelney the other day.

Visited #WWTWelney today, where I saw about 30 #CattleEgrets alongside the cows while drinking my tea in the cafe. Then saw a #GreatWhiteEgret in the reeds from the main hide. Finally, walking around Lady Fen I saw a couple more #GreatWhiteEgrets mixed in with the #CattleEgret - clearly distinguishable by the huge size difference (pictured). Don’t be taken in just because they’re near cows!
Also, they are #NotADuck

It is supposed to be #ThreeDuckThursday and is certainly #LovelyWeatherForDucks so who are these rapscallions and what have they done with my mallards?

The #WeekendWaterbird and #DuckOfTheDay is a charming #mallard, but the pressure of all that prestige is getting to it and it needs a drink.

Once again #ThreeDuckThursday doesn't know whether it is coming or going. I know that feeling!

The #MondayMallard is the first duck on my new phone. Can you tell the difference?

#DuckOfTheDay #Mallard #Duck #LowCarbonBirding #UrbanBirding #BirdsSeenIn2024

Even photographing through a telescope it can be hard to tell if the #DuckOfTheDay is a #TuftedDuck or a #Pochard when they are this #CameraShy... help please?

#FourDuckFriday seems a bit lacklustre today. Sorry about that.

The #WeekendWaterbird is a #SundaySwan. I don't know why it is #NotADuck today, but it is. I'm not sure if it is eating, drinking, or washing its bill.

#FourDuckFriday has been photographed through a telescope.

#FourDuckFriday already? How did that happen?

Congratulations, this handsome chap is the #MayDayMallard, not just your #DuckOfTheDay but if you’re in the UK the #FirstDuckOfSummer!
A slightly #SuspiciousSwan is trying to sneak up on it by the look of things though...

(Summer has begun in May since time immemorial, and Midsummer Day is in the middle of it, so please don’t reply to “educate" me about “meteorological” or “astrological” summer!)

Unexpected #MondayMallards - the first ducks on the smaller of the two SUDS ponds at the big development on my #FakeCommute!
