Rub a dub, dub.

I'm loving those face markings. Seriously stylish in a duckish kinda way.

Mystery Bird

I've looked through all my bird books and I can't identify these beauties. Pretty common, but duck or goose I don't know. I'd probably fail as a twitcher, but they were fun to snap.

Duck! Here they come!

Some pretty water reflection colour going in in this snap. And pretty feather action of course.

Swan Song


It is a myth that swans sing mournfully just before they die – how poetic and beautiful. But no, they don't.  They sure are beautiful in life though, singing or not.

Pretty Pretty

Looks fake doesn't it? A common but pretty wee butterfly.
