Mallard in triplicate

Taken on our last visit to Constitution Gardens. We haven’t been there for a while but really should go see if my friend the heron is still around. We haven’t seen him from the street when we’ve driven by there over the past couple of months.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Rear view, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/800s f/8.0 at 300.0mm iso250 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

That's a really interesting double reflection of the duck's head, the lower one looks like a small fish. :) V

Nice sharp shot with good/interesting reflections Helen. Looks like it is having a drink.

Very nice image and detail of the mallard. First time I've seen a duck seem to have an expression! It saw you! V
