  1. About 20 years ago, I toured Britain by an offer from British Rail for youth (I do not know if it will remain possible: you had to pay an amount, but you cuold travel unlimited for 30 days by train across the country! ). I remember we visited Slimbridge and had never seen so many species of ducks together! It was spectacular! I still remember some species that impressed me, as the Common Goldeneye and mandarin duck. Greetings!

  2. Lovely birds! A possible sub-theme for this post could be 'a day of birds with dramatic black-and-white facial patterns'. Something about your shots makes both birds look really dramatic!

  3. wow what a chance to be able to see this duck! I've seen it for the first time this year, but it was a female! I'd like to see a male one day! Beautiful pictures of them you got!

  5. Atanasio. That's lovely. Nice that know what I am talking about and where it is! I am sure they do offers like that now from time to time, but more expensively! Saludos.

    Thank you Felicia.
