Too wet even for ducks by shirleybankfarm

Too wet even for ducks

It has been a horrid wet, dull, grey day. The beck has risen quite a bit today and when I was down in the village noticed all the ducks were sitting around the edges on the grass or standing in the shallow edges. This one took my eye as he was preening his feathers in the rain.
Same weather here too Shirley. If the ducks are fed up it must be bad. Nice photo.

A handsome chap, I think he is taking time out for a preen. We have had some lovely storm rain at last :)

His green head certainly stands out on a gray, wet day.

It may be too wet even for ducks, but at least he is still managing a paddle. Lovely shot.

@flowerfairyann @hermann @snowy @tunia @gijsje @terryliv @onewing @tosee @ingrid_marianna @leestevo Thanks for your comments. I suppose preening himself in the rain will be like taking a shower! :)

Wonderful capture; definitely too much rain if it's too wet for the ducks! :)

@stiggle @elisasaeter @kimdavis Thanks again for your comments. I think rather than it being to wet for ducks the river was maybe running to fast because they were all just stood in the side.

Like water off a duck's back - the saying is true!
