Just to prove that I don't spend my whole life jetting of to far flung and exotic locations, these picture were taken next to the Freeway about ten minutes from my house! As you may have guessed it was a busy weekend - but I sneaked out for an hour on Sunday, just to see what I could find.
And what I did find was a Dusky Moorhen, checking out its reflection, and some kind of rather weird and wonderful domestic duck hybrid sort of thing. While the duck is clearly a 'plastic' - I did rather like it, especially its colours.

You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds specially like the first ones Reminds me of Rail birds or Rikse fugl as we call them here in Norway
ReplyDeleteGreetings Anita
Sometimes the best things are right in our own neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteLike the reflections.
ReplyDeleteLovely captures Stewart. I echo Linda W's comment - the attraction of far off places can so easily cause us to be blinkered to the beauty on offer closer to home.
ReplyDeleteThose wacky Mallards always fooling around with other species to get us confused!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see that you weren't flying across the world...I was getting jealous.
ah, enjoyed these shots
ReplyDeleteI got some of my best avian shots at a flood tank just blocks away from my house. Tiny little place. But the water birds love it.
That Duck is giving you what for!!! Great pictures..
ReplyDeleteWonderful reflections!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great day!
That duck is certainly very brightly adorned. Nice images so close to home!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree -- that duck is rather lovely looking! The reflections are great, too.
