  • Madam Mandarin

    Madam Mandarin

    I captured this female mandarin duck on a bright and chilly morning. I really like the way the water is all shiny and silvery, very reflective.

  • The Mallard

    The Mallard

    Anas platyrhynchos is the scientific name for the humble Mallard, a very common northern hemisphere wading bird (or dabbling duck if you prefer).

  • Mrs Duck

    Mrs Duck

    This is yet another archive image (this pandemic has really caused me to take a lot fewer photographs than I usually would – so having a fairly large archive of potential images has been a bit of a bonus). What did this image teach me? To not underestimate some of my very early photography.

  • White-faced Whistling Duck

    White-faced Whistling Duck

    As the title says, these two birds are white-faced whistling ducks. They’re small water birds with very cute faces and a delightful whistle for a call. No quacks here! What did this image teach me? Dendrocygna viduata is the scientific name for this species, and it lives in both Southern Africa and South America.
