What's the Quack?

Just a quick pic of three mallards having a rest on an old footbridge over The Ramparts River in the centre of town.
Ducks were re-introduced to the river a few years ago and took to town living like, well, ducks to water.
This is the time of year when their thoughts turn to romance and the local ISPCA officer will be swamped with calls about amorous ducks wandering along busy roads and housing estates in search of love.

A cute catch, I like how they are lined up.

a good vantage point for these lads to spot any females swimming along the river..

They look very relaxed for ducks on the prowl. They are leaving reminders that they were there. V
