Like the change in perspective in the first picture. Makes you feel like part of the family.
The last duck looks like a muscovy. I used to have them but mine were not that colour. Wonder if it is a blend?
The Grebes are really pleasant to look at particularly the juvinile has a cheecky look.
Well done!

I really, really like the POV in the first image Isac. As stated by Hans, makes you feel involved with the wildlife.
Also agree with him that the last one is a Muscovy.

For reference, our granddaughter with 2 of our Muscovy ducks (when we lived in a semi rural area).

Thanks Hans. It's a great vision seeing the little ducks swimming around and learning all their skills from the parents. I think I agree on the Muscovy. It's new to this area. The grebes are really cute but they don't like to be close to you.

Your very kind John, thank you. I always feel involved with our wildlife and love just observing the free shows they put on every day. Would I be on the mark by saying that's a very old photo of the ducks?

I don't remember the last time I did a multi quote comment ......
