As suggested by Janet, I did linger at the same spot for some time, just enjoying the spectacle of the sun emerging for the day and the very special atmosphere that surrounds it with only the sounds of the birds all around.
Here, I must admit that there was a fourth duck and for the sake of the composition I have removed him from the scene.
Ohhh, I’m glad to hear you lingered. The light is spectacular, and what joy the sounds of birds bring! When presented with such a beautiful gift, gratitude comes easy, doesn’t it?
Poor duck - I hope you did it humanely!!
