Duck!

Another duck, this time in the form of a weather vane, in the south Lincolnshire village of Hanthorpe. I spent yesterday looking round the two villages of Hanthorpe and Morton, and found some attractive old buildings, a fascinating church, and a railway station building beside a railway that closed around 60 years ago, but my favourite shot of the day was this weather vane duck. Who could resist it's smiling face?

You would duck if you saw that one flying straight at you! What a fun weather vane :)

I'm not sure I understand the preference for a flying duck over an old railway station, but, anyway, this is an interesting find. And it did make me smile.

Well it makes a change from a cock I guess.

Thank you all for your comments, they are appreciated.

I did find this quite a novelty, in what was a quite interesting pair of villages that have now joined to become one.

The railway station building came a close second, but sadly some of the modifications to it had rather spoilt it's character.

Smiling because it loves flying west!

@will_wooderson You could be right there - the contryside to the west of this location is quite attractive!
