Ah, handsome Ferruginous duck, Sandor! Great smile! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Simpatico atteggiamento di questa Moretta tabaccata che per quanto nidificante in Sardegna ho visto raramente, ciao Giangiorgio

Thank you, Tatiana, I am glad you like it. Kind regards,- Sandor

Hi Sandor,

 

a cheerful looking duck indeed! For a moment I thought it was a female pochard, but the white eye and the shiny feathers rule that out. You have captured a very good posture in attractive light. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Thank you, Vincent, for viewing and the nice comment. Yes, you are right, the most characteristic difference is the male has a yellowish eye while the female has a dark eye, and the feather of males are high-colored to that of the females. Kind regards,- Sandor

Wonderful expression and low POV!

Thank you, Philip, for viewing and the nice comment. Kind regards,- Sandor
