I didn't have anything for #BirdOfTheDay of #Ducks&GeeseInFlight, any Ducks or Geese in flight.

Then I went for our evening walk and the local ducks did me proud.

Ducks in flight, close together, it's chaos.

A sure sign of autumn— two pairs of female and male ducks in mid flight with a wheat color marsh /wetland meadow in background.

Waiting out the rain in Windermere

Several pigeons perched on a rail in the rain, puffy and looking grumpy, with geese swimming in the background

🪶 Rob has chosen #Ducks&GeeseInFlight as today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme; any ducks or geese in flight

Alternative is #Pigeons&Doves, any Pigeon or Dove species

- Three Mallard taking off
- Brent Geese (B&W) landing at the coast

#birdphotography
#ECK #birds #birdsofbluesky #naturephotography #Stunday

Three male Mallard ducks taking off from the reeds at the side of a lake. All three birds are more or less centre of the shot and all are facing left so that’s their left sides are visible. The nearest (on the right) is about a foot off the water surface with its wings in front of it in a downward beat, its head is level with the ground. The second is a little lower and has its wings back behind it in an upward beat. The third still has its feet touching the water and its body elongated upward, its wings are behind it and high.
They have a yellow bill and a glossy, iridescent green head with a narrow white ring on the neck. The breast is chestnut brown, the body is grey; turning to white in the underbody. They have a distinctive purple-blue speculum on their wings, which is bordered by white. The feet are orange.
The foreground is short reeds with water visible in between and the droplets and splashes from the birds can be seen throughout the foreground, particularly under the birds and to the right.
The background is a mass of straw yellow grasses and reeds

Seven Brent geese coming in to land at the coast. The image is in black and white and six of the geese are centre of the shot with the seventh towards the top right.
They are a small sea goose, about mallard sized with a completely black head, neck and breast. They have a distinctive white neck patch. The body is grey-brown with pale flanks and belly.
The foreground is the shallow water of the bay with a straight line of rocks covered in seaweed running from left to right just below the centre of the shot. Behind that is more water with the shore, covered in seaweed, in the background. This turns more rocky as you reach the top of the shot.
