I'm Sleeping

Sorry I am a bit absent at the moment. I'll catch up when I am able, but more medical appointments today.

Here is another photo taken at Oakvale Farm.

This white muscovy duck really didn't like being disturbed, so I just took a couple of photos very quietly and then tiptoed away. I don't think I disturbed him too much.

I just loved the colour of his eye.

He looks so soft and I like the concentration you have captured in his eye Babs.

Babs, I see you are having tests and medical appointments. I do wish you well and hope you get some answers soon, take care. x

Beautiful image. Love the feather details and the red eye area.

This is just soooo funny.

[Rachel]

They have such unusual eyes. Great shot.

[Babs]

@julzmaioro I love the colour of his eye too. It was his eye that made me take the photo.

[Babs]

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. He was much more well behaved than the cockerel in yesterday's photo.

[Babs]

@phil_sandford @sangwann Thanks for the fav's, I loved the colour of his eye.

[Babs]

Some were rather cheeky and bossy. I just loved the colour of his eye.

[Babs]

@jackie8 @stephanies @helenhall Thanks, the tests are just procedures needed before my surgery on the 1 August. Then my blood pressure rose to very high levels and I have had to have treatment and monitoring for that. David is on the mend now though since his DVT. Still on blood thinners but they have reduced the quantity since he had massive bleeds. It was very worrying.

[Babs]

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole. I am fine, just had a very worrying few days with tests before my surgery on the 1 August. All looking okay now though.

[Leslie]

What a wonderful capture. Kind of reminds me of what flamingos and geese do. I guess a lot of birds can do this.

[*lynn]

super shot!

[Jorlam]

Stupendous detail in feather and red portions of the bird's face.. the composition and focus are spot-on.. an altogether fabulous image.. deffo one to print and hang..

[Jane Morley]

He knew what you were doing! Good luck with your treatments, both of you.

[tony gig]

Wonderful detailed shot...Fav

[Kathy A]

I must agree, that eye is fabulous.
