AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER

This lovely duck shares the pond with the Mandarins. Seems they get along well together.
Many thanks for looking and for your wonderful comments on yesterday's picture.

pretty colours - it's just amused me because I checked it out, I thought it was a shelduck, but it's not, it's a ruddy shelduck *snigger*

nicely captured shot....bird is beautiful....

[Peter Reed]

Great shot Dione!

[Margaret Pengelly]

I thought it must be a result of cross breeding but as Shanne did, I checked and it is a Ruddy Shelduck! More sniggers.
