Gadwall

I stand corrected on the first image I posted of the duck thinking it was a green winged teal but I am mistaken; it is a Gadwall. I was fooled by the black beak.

This is a beautiful image. Nice detail in the feathers and I love the reflection and the water dripping from the bill. Great capture!

A very good image of the Gadwall, David. the detail and lighting are excellent. I don’t mind the foreground lily pads, but I’d be sorely tempted to try removing the background ones.

Hi David, I like the setting here and the patterns on the duck feathers are really interesting. The water drop on the bill adds a lot.
