Their bright orange head and bill make them a standout among other ducks. We were so excited to photograph two at once. The Common Merganser is a fish-eating duck that rides low in the water on freshwater lakes and rivers. The female Common Merganser has a solid gray body with a reddish-brown head. She has a narrow, red, serrate bill and white chin-patch at the base of the lower mandible.
Another shot of one of the pretty mountain lakes of Macun. It's a rather longish hike, all in all, but I can't wait to go there again.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

A pretty similar comp to another shot I've seen in the last few days, but hey ho, you can see my version as well 😊
The view from Side Pike down to the very lovely Blea Tarn.
When I first saw this little Burrowing Owl standing upright, at it's now very green burrowing hole, it quickly ducked under. I parked the car so I could watch without getting out and when it reappeared barely showing it's head I thought I was 'seeing double' as I shot this image only to find there were two owls.
Thank you for your visit and comments and hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
Enjoying a nature walk, past a few semi-wooded fields, I came across these two-coloured tulips – so unexpected, so vibrant! Amongst the trees and the various grasses, these red and yellow tulips stuck out like beacons in an otherwise green and untended landscape. I wonder who it was that one day decided to plant those bulbs out there!
