It's not just penguins in the Falklands. Took this pic today of a Southern Right Whale.

Your photos never fail to impress me. What's about to follow is extremely tame in comparison, see below!

Ducks and otter!

Ducks and otter!

Is that a female Mallard eyeing up a male Pochard?

I often wonder why there's very little, if any, inter breeding in wild birds.

Most vegetable growers' enemy, and as common as muck, but I really liked this shot. Small White butterfly on Bramble flower.

nowhere near the numbers they used to be.... too much pesticides out there

I'm not that good on ducks. I reckon your summary is pretty good.

The really funny thing is that I was so fixated on the ducks that I didn't even see the Otter last night. It's only this morning, re reading posts that I realised there was an Otter there

Where was this?

On one of the many lakes in La Brenne, one of France's equivalent to our National Parks.

This was taken just before the pandemic in Loikaw, Myanmar (Burma). The woman is from the Kayah ethnic group, the Kayah women wear capes and heavy metallic rings around their knees. This is encouraged by Kayah men who think that Kayah women are so special and fear that if they don't wear the heavy knee rings to weigh them down they will use their capes to fly away. I often look at the portraits that I took of the group that day and wonder what happened to them during the pandemic.

Having a quick break at Cradle Mountain. Was a beautiful day there today and snapped this on my phone.
