The male Goldeneye has such pretty feather patterns. That's an interesting series of photos, lots of great shots, I can see why there are lots of fluffy ducklings around now, Gunilla!
Nice report. The preparations we can see at the end of the winter, but the real mating clearly doesn't happen with us. With the birds it happens may time the same way: it's a tough time for the females.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I will return your visit (if I haven't visited you already), but please be patient. I might not be able to do so until the weekend. Take care!
Handsame fellow.

ReplyDeleteLintu urokset on tosi väkivaltaisia. Täällä ollaan katsottu sinisorsa uroksia. Naaraat ovat hätää kärsimässä.
