A female wood duck cruising on the Wissahickon creek at Valley Green. While not as colorful as their male counterparts, I find the hens to be quite beautiful with the iridescent plumage on their back feathers. View large (L) for the full experience.

It is the back half of the weekend. Enjoy the day!

What the heck.... I know it has only been a week or so since my wood duck series ended, but I couldn't resist posting another shot of a beautiful male wood duck. Call this one an outtake...and Wood Duck Glory for the Easter Holiday.

Enjoy the evening and the Easter Holiday!

Saw this today out on one of the ponds on Bookham Common - got the bike out today for the first time for ages .

The Common is a National Trust area - a link to the NT page for more info !!

I went past this spot and there was a duck walking on water - on my way back there was still a duck walking on water ( same one or not , I do not Know ) ,so a shot was order of the day .

Please view large to check out her expression !!

Mandarin ducks in Britain are the descendants of captive-bred ducks which escaped or were deliberately released. Mandarins are one of the few duck species which are not hunted for food - apparently they taste really bad!
