I think at some time we have all taken a picture of some ducks/A duck.

Post your best in here for a bit of fun at the end of the year..:)


My admission.

One taken ages ago (with the Panasonic FZ20 no less!)

Has a certain humour value I think. :)

That's my favourite one....Completely by accident...lol
 
Taken ages ago on a very poor quality camera - but I still like the pic:

Glad I stopped using those frames too :|
 
Actually, there's some cracking shots on here, for instance, BALDYMAN ... absolutely fantastic!

Marcel your pic is hilarious ... are you sure that rogue duck wasnt stuffed? :LOL:

Heres my offering.... had just bought my camera (excuses)
Taken at a friend's wildlife park in Cambridge.
Havent a clue what the hell it is!

It's a dogs life being a duck!

One of my few pictures that sold!

The poor duck amused me by the speed it got out of the battle zone whilst the pair below were almost sitting on my feel as it was all going on!

Some great ducky images in here everyone :D

Glo, nope. it wasn't stuffed. It was my first proper day out with my 350 (I think this was on the friday, I'd bought the 350 on the thursday), and it was a family trip to chester zoo. I don't think I even noticed the pose properly until I got home. I think I almost deleted it at one point when I ran out of space.

What's the duck with the lumpy red beak? Glo/whiteflyer. Don't think I've seen a duck like that before.
 
This threads going well with some outstanding shots..:clap:

A second example from me..:)

And delicious with orange sauce and a bit of stuffing. :naughty:

Fastest bird in the world in straight flight I'm pretty sure? Fantastic game bird - I used to shoot wild ones up in the hills in Powys... pure adrenaline rush!
 


He's learning...... just like me !:)

Taken with a Canon S2 last winter.

Sorry, I've no idea.

It was just stood on the canal bank one day while out for a walk.
