I have quite a few images of this spectacular non native so thought I'd wach them in one place. Again these are all living wild in the forest of Dean. I guess i'm drawn to them by their fantastic plumage,but it's also so damn cool seeing a duck up a tree,more of that later as time allows. I have much to process yet. All processing in dpp4 usual tools Canon 1Div and 3002.8 ext1.4iii some might be shot with a 2Xextiii.
For sure some of these guys think I'm going to feed them and some possibly were baited. I'm not completely sure which though as they are taken over a number of visits . Ha I'd love to catch some kids fledging it' always amazed me that a tiny duckling can jump/fall that far from a hole in a tree without getting damaged truly amazing ,but I guess weighing so little is everything.
Here's the first taken around 10am in that strange light I mentioned with my earlier coot post
