Ducks & Geese
I like taking photos of Ducks and geese the muscovey duck was a favourite of mine that i fed for a few years sadly he has now passed away.I was living by a lake and have moved so now i have to go out looking for ducks and geese where ever i may find them.And i adore coots just love their funny antics..

Coots are great combatants and make great action subjects, we call Black-headed gulls Chiphawks amply displayed by your photo.

The coots are squaring up to eat other. That's what it looks like.

They do in Kent, they're well hard. The ones in Hertfordshire probably curl up in a ball and cry.
Forgot to ask (if musky see's this) is that an older Muscovy Duck, because the hair has gone around the face?
