White Duck

Dennis

I saw this white duck having fun in a local pond. It made me wonder, because I don’t often see white ducks in the wild. I tried to research but all what I read says the same. White ducks are not very common in the wild, at least not in Germany. Most pages I have read do speak about escaped domestic ducks, hyprid ducks or escaped white pekins. Then I spotted a German blogger on WordPress who posted an image of a white duck as well in a list of hybrid drucks, with the same assumptions. So, who knows? All … Continue reading White Duck

Male Mallard

Dennis

Here is a photo that I actually wanted to delete because the photo was extremely overexposed. But since I shot the photo in RAW format, I tried to take a look if I can improve the photo. Well, to be honest, the trick was to change the photo from colours to black and white, but I changed the shadow and highlight values before I did that, and I added contrast to the photo. I think the photo is actually not that bad anymore after the edits. You see a male mallard in the photo, and you can find even more … Continue reading Male Mallard

Female Mallard

Dennis

Here is a photo of a mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), also called wild duck. The duck in the photo is a female mallard, the males look very different and have a green head, with brighter and different plumage, and at the neck it looks as if they have a white collar. I have a post where you can see both a female and male mallard, the male is on the left and the female on the right. But I think the photo is not as great as the close-up photo of the female duck that you can see here in my … Continue reading Female Mallard

A Tufted Duck

Dennis

Here is a photo of a tufted duck (Aythya fuligula). The image is not that sharp because I had to crop heavily. But I wanted to show the tufted duck anyway because I believe that I never did so on my blog. But I guess the image is not too bad, you can see the subject well. I believe I have some better photos of this species somewhere in my library, I will upload them in the future if that is the case. The photo was taken near a pond called Herrenteich in Reinfeld. Continue reading A Tufted Duck

Cute Ducklings

Dennis

I do have less time now to go out and take new photos, but as usual when this is the case, I do still have enough photos that I shot but that I didn’t upload yet. Today I want to show you a photo of some cute ducklings that I found around two weeks ago or so. I was somewhere outside of Lübeck and noticed a strange sound near a very small pond, and it took me a while but then I noticed I found these cute ducklings that made the sound. They are more than cute, aren’t they? Continue reading Cute Ducklings
