Duck

Yes, I know its a Turkey but the small child that named him couldn't think of anything else.
Duck lives across the road from me, he's very old and spent a good half an hour trying to impress me with his beauty.
I always thought Turkeys could be aggressive but Duck appeared to quite like me and wouldn't leave my side. I never thought I would say this, but I quite liked him too.

Boy, Duck's quite a looker;)!

[Babs]

Wow excellent detail. 'Duck' is so ugly that he is beautiful if you know what I mean. So good to hear he has mellowed with age. fav.

[Jane Armstrong]

Beautifully 'ugly'? Great shot

[Michelle]

Such a beautiful ugly duck! Lovely capture 😃

[Poppo Livy]

I thought that the Ugly Duckling turned into a swan but this one turned into a turkey. What a goose. Lovely shot of the duck errr turkey.

[Helen Jane]

That is quite a sight. Excellent detail. What is with all that loose hanging skin? I wonder if it has a purpose because I can not convince myself that it is attractive.

[FBailey]

He may not be beautiful in the strictest sense, but I'm very glad he's escaped being someone's dinner!

[elkehochban]

Fabulous shot! Every time I see one, I wonder what made the first person to see one decide it would make a tasty meal? Until they're cooked, they are very unappetizing to me

[Joan Robillard]

Funny

[Gayle]

Oh, my! It's quite interesting seeing all these details up close. The colors are surprising...I like the blue around the eye. A wonderful and unique shot, Suzanne! :-)

[Karly]

Oh my ....I would be so flattered if such a handsome gentleman took a shine to me. He's stunning!

[Carole G]

They are the oddest looking birds. Ugly but beautiful colouring. We have a flock of wild ones, which visit our paddock regularly.

[Connie Little]

I laughed when I read your narrative. Glad you and Duck liked each other. Wonderful shot of this beautifully ugly bird.

[KWind]

Wonderfully detailed.

[Diana]

A very impressive shot, wonderful details and tones Suzanne, fav!

[Chris]

Nice shot and sharpness. He may not escape the Christmas table for ever but won't have to worry about Duck shooting season ;-))

[Sharon]

What a handsome fella.

[Julienne Jones]

I love that he's called duck! Magnificently ugly!

[Inga Johansson]

Ugly bird but nice shot :)

[Dione Giorgio]

I guess Duck has been lucky to live for so long. He will not be called in to make a lovely feast for diners now. Great close up shot of him and details.

[sally agnew]

Haha, the name suits this very elaborate fellow :)

Saw this on TP - so glad he has had a full life and sounds like he has good friends!
