How do you make a duck sing ?
........microwave it till it's Bill Withers 
Sorry, couldn't resist that one.
Anyway - I was taking some pictures at the fishery on Monday when a gang of ducks came up to me.
I'll post the duck pictures at some point but this wee blighter came right up to me....
I managed a few before this one. He's a bit close here to focus on as a split second later he attacked my camera
You can tell he's about to 'strike' from the expression.

Excellent Phil! Cheeky little thing, did he get the camera
They are very good shots, would you of sat there if it had been a swan though?
Love the detail in his beak and eye.

Love these shots. Really captured his cheeky character. He's not called 'Donald' by any chance? Attacking the camera and all, you know.

They are fantastic, well done for having the camera at the ready, good excuse to think about a new lens now that one has been beaked.

Love the detail in his beak and eye.I just didn't expect it from the ducks. I actually had to push them away with my boot.
