Fabulous shot. I love the drops of water falling from her beak.

Nice one Hans!

Hi Hans Friends swimming together. Lovely shot.

Hon är väldigt vacker!

Wonderful shot of that bird, I think we call it a «zaagbekeend». I have seem them sometimes in winter overhere, but not this year, because haven’t had any winter at all.

Hi hans. A good size and comparison shot for Mallard and Goosander.

Hello Hans,
I love ducks and I can fill a book with my duck shots.
Your picture is wonderful. Think, the first is very speedy!
Wish you a nice wednesday

roligt att se storskrakshonan. Fast hon simmar med fel partner. 🙂

Beautiful image of the Merganser.

Flott «skudd»! Her må det bli et artig resultat i neste generasjon 🙂

Great photo of two lovely birds. I haven’t seen either in a while so it was super seeing your photo.
april 23, 2014, kl. 21:01
a good looking couple Hans; you were quite some way away from them too…well done
april 24, 2014, kl. 00:00
Such pretty ducks. Nice capture.
april 24, 2014, kl. 00:45
Beautiful merganser. The water dripping from its beak is nice.

UN TRABAJO ESPLENDIDO.
UN ABRAZO

Love that goosander with the long, long bill.
april 24, 2014, kl. 11:11
Now that is puzzling to have them swimming together like this…two different species. Hmmmm.
april 24, 2014, kl. 15:51
I love this beautiful photo, wonderful ducks!

What a beautiful couple of ducks ! Lovely shot !
Greetings

Found you — thanks very much for linking me. (And now that I know how it works between your two blogs, I am embarrassed I didn’t figure it out myself.) Love the mixed ducks! I wonder if they are a pair — I think I’ve heard that ducks interbreed quite readily. Maybe. Or maybe I just imagined reading it.

You really have a talent for bird pictures.

Den är lite speciellt den här, som på svenska heter Storskrake.
Vi ser dem ibland vid våtmarkerna hos oss också.
Tack för barnbarnsgrattiset!
Det är väl nästan rekord för er då, med sex barnbarn på två år! Häftigt!

Beautiful ducks. I went out to a nearby lake to try to find ducks, but alas there were none.

A really flowing picture. Would like to go for a swim …
