Duck and the winter chill

Today I've been taking pics of Honey Barbara, its hard to tell exactly what colour she is, definitely spotted, but what else?  And such wonderful feather markings!!







And Barry, another genetic quandry, definitely choc, light phase? wrong colour in the hood, but iridescent speculum says not dusky - test matings required!!





Slim on the left, Rocko and Titus, just colouring up, and Carmen being shy.  One of the Whyland Park boys in the background.



Carmen being a bit kinder to me and the camera, she is such a pretty little duck :)



Frankie, looking very shiny and healthy :)




And Gabriel, bit long in the beak, but otherwise a nice little drake.



Isolde, such a pretty duck :)



Leylani, Frankie behind.




Rocko - looking a bit like a changeling!!



Saffie - looks nice and calm, but head duck most of the time and fond of throwing her weight around.



Sally and Slim, now very much part of the landscape and doing well :)



The young Titus, very much a look-er in the making :)



Sometimes hard to get the ducks to come out and play when I want to take photos!!  There are a pair of wedgies that cruise by every day!!
