There is a peephole on the Trap Grounds nature reserve where you can see what is on the pond and in the trees beyond. I had been looking through it for a while before I became aware that I was the one being watched.
Mrs Duck had secured a vantage point on a tree stump and was watching me closely. She was rather elegant, and seemed almost to be posing as I took photographs. “Is this my best side?”, she seemed to be asking.
I love these Chris. Such poise and elegance. You’re a very talented man. Take care, Julian
Thank you, Julian. Common-or-garden ducks are just as interesting as the more exotic birds we see here. Chris
