This is a "normal" female duck. She is quite dark.
Hereabouts, we have some females who look a bit ruddy, but today this very blond girl swam into view on the local river.
Granted, she doesn't look as different in these pictures as she does in real life, but I've done the post now, so you'll have to either like it - or lump it!
Mallard? That is light.
ReplyDeleteBoth my hubby and I hunt water fowl.
Any others around that are on the lightish side?
You HUNT!!!??? I've just gone off you big time!
ReplyDeleteThere are some other lightish ones, but she is the only proper blond.
What a pretty ducky!! Brian would like to have it for dinner, unfortunately.....
ReplyDeleteSilly me, I thought you were talking about old 'heart-in-a-box' - LOL!
ReplyDeletefuzzy, you got that totally wrong!! we hunt PYTHONS - not blonde birdies, see!
ReplyDeleteJazzy, you crack me up!
ReplyDeleteShe's a very lovely duck!
ReplyDeleteMost of what we get in our backyard creek are green-headed mallards. She's very pretty--your blond one.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! We have a pair of ducks on the pond over the road...very noisy when they fly over the house, but good to look at :-)
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, when I see "THEE Python", I'll mount it!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't mean to ruffle your feathers, val.
ReplyDeleteHunting's just not really done over here, Fuzzy, hunting with dogs is (supposedly) banned (though a lot of hunts seem to find a way round it) and shooting is for rich people on their estates with friends or entertaining business partners. I would be opposed even if I were not a strict vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteWe don't hunt with dogs and EVERYTHING we kill we eat. Hunting is a privilege and a passion. It's been done for generations. Unfortunately, there are a whole bunch of idiots and assholes out there that kill for fun/meanness. I HATE THEM. It's hard to explain what hunting means to us in the US.

ReplyDeletegetting more lively...thanks a lot for these keep them coming....
