Group of male wood ducks perched on a tree, I was lucky to also see four different GBH perched on trees at the Inglewood Brid Sanctuary. Also saw a bunch of other wood female ducks and few deer.

Thanks everyone for visiting, favorites and comments.

Swans on the river Korana. Next to the river Korana is one of the most beautiful promenades in the whole city Karlovac where people walking, watching and feed swans. River Korana become a great place for swans. One large flock whole year stay on the river.

I always wonder when I see these how many there will be the next day, yet somehow the species seems to survive. It's getting harder though in public parks where a significant number of dog owners don't bother to keep control so as to protect wildlife. And the parks themselves are more crowded now as the human population explodes in this country, and newcomers are not necessarily aware of how we expect people to care for nature.

Ducks patos

Captured looking straight down from a viewing platform, with the illusion the ducks are swimming amongst some clouds.

The sun came out from behind the clouds just long enough for me to get this shot. Thankfully they were lined up pretty good. There were five of them, but the one was a little shy for a group pic. Peace Valley Park, New Britain Pa.

Ducks

"Two little ducks went swimming one day

Over the hills and far away

Mother Duck went quack, quack, quack

But only one little duck came back"

She did go & find him though! Mallard ducklings in Regents Park.

Ducks

These birds are really fun to watch and to photograph. They are a bit skittish, but that makes them seek out dark corners and circle around warily, which leads to neat poses and behaviours. The colours area challenges in almost any light. One of the other great things about them, that escapes photography, is the neat sounds they make, from the cries to the subtle buzzing - which the open-mouthed male here was doing as he circled behind the female.

... went swimming one day.

I can't get this tune out of my head, I keep listening to it along with my grandson

... in a frivolous mood.
