Mallards





Mallards on a cold winter day 30.1.2014.
It was so cold that the water drops on
the feathers have frozen to ice.

I'm linking to I'd Rather B Birdin'.

      Thank you Eileen! They don't seem to be bothered by the cold. Some were bathing enthusiastically while I was there. Happy weekend!

    Great shots, love the way you captured the pretty foliage on the female. Usually the male grabs our attention with that shiny green!

      Thank you! They don't seem to suffer from the cold and people feed them too.
