For the past few days it has poured down with rain….some might say torrential, other might say it is “just the weather for Ducks” and they would be right! But despite the rains there have been the occasional spells of bright sunshine, just right for this pair of Mallards to preen and beautify themselves.
Mallards might be your common or garden Duck but they are none the less beautiful for that. The Drake is keeping a very close watch over this pretty girl…..
Mind you he is also capable of making something of a splash of his own……
