I went over to Wilstone reservoir at lunch time, looking for a really cool Teal.
Although the weather was really rough, I managed to zoom on on this little fella. He is a Green-winged (cool) Teal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green-winged_Teal
The teal ducks live over at Fanny Brogdens! I like your thinking bulldog and at least you got outside and thought outside the (teal) box.... I resorted to a set up shot!
The weather was awful, I when there before work (about 8am) and the fog/mist was so thick, I could not even see half way across the reservoir... I went back at mid day, and it had lifted a bit. This was the nearest one and he was a long way out.
I am glad I got one though. @quietpurplehaze
@gphelps5 The farm shop next to the reservoir. The dark timbered barn. They sell meat, veg and cold press their own rapeseed oil (which makes the best roast potatoes). There's also a cafe where you can get the best Choccy sponge in the whole wide world, if they happen to have one on the go at the time you visit.
And if they don't have choccy sponge, the other sponges are good and so is the mincepie slice. Have a slice for me! Oh, and they do Fentiman's Curiosity Cola as well. It's not cheap but it's much nicer - I think - than the 'real thing' .
Who's Derek? Well, good on you...'The Real thing' as they sing and even knowing what to look for, fairly impressed with your efforts Mr Bulldog!! ha ha Mr Fannyb looked in amazelment as I walked through the sitting room with a plate of ice and a plastic duck!!
I am glad I got one though.

@pandorasecho - I think Mrs Bulldog is beginning to think I am spending too much time on my daily shots
@lynnb - Thanks you Lynn, it's just a shame the weather was a little better.
@triciaodonnell - Thanks Tricia

@roachling - I was, what you might call 'Very Lucky' - I knew there were Teals there, but the weather was so bad..
@lyno - It's nothing like it, they are swimming in completely different directions! - Only joking, they are very similar.
@ladyjane - Great photographers think alike
