SORT OF DUCKS/ GULLS

Shot taken on day 7 of our Black Forest vacation – 2st July 2015

On the seventh day of our vacation we went to Konstanz and Mainau Island. Konstanz is on the shore of Lake Geneve, Mainau Island is a small island (part of Konstanz) separated from the land by a few metres of water and linked to the mainland by a small bridge. Mainau is maintained as a garden island and a model of excellent environmental practices.

These sort of ducks or gulls were happily paddling along the smooth waters of the Lake.

Joke: Two ducks cross each other on Lake Geneve. One went "Quack quack!"
And the other duck said "Thats funny I was just about to say that!"

Thank you very much for looking and for the lovely comments and on yesterday's picture.

Think the left bird is a Fuut (Podiceps cristatus) See: https://www.google.nl/search?q=Fuut&rlz=1C1AVSA_enNL446NL446&espv=2&biw=1680&bih=925&tbm=isch&tbo=u&so

The right one I do n`t know. Great shots.

[Anja]

I like seeing them next to each other in a collage.

[Paula W]

Nice bird shots. I remember visiting Mainau, such a pretty place.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

The one on the left looks rather like the Crested Grebes we see here in the UK and I think the one on the right may be a Black Headed Gull (typically chocolate colour head in summer).
Nice shots of them and a good diptych too.

[Yao RL]

It sounds like an interesting place to visit and I like the way you put these two birds together.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Haha- fun joke! Both shots are excellent. Love the color of the water and the reflection of the gull.

[Ivan]

I think Alison's identified them both. Nice.

[Harry J Benson]
