Ducking And Diving ...

Ducking And Diving ...
A 'nearly ran' for this week's Sunday Challenge, for which we were asked to photograph a bird or birds.

After struggling to get close enough to a group of village ducks on the river at Great Ayton, or to get many decent shots, this particular duck's actions summed up how I was starting to feel.

I'm also not entirely convinced that it was just diving for food. I tell you, being mooned by a duck isn't all it's quacked up to be!

Lebojo, Doug Shepherd, .t.a.o.n., and 29 other people have particularly liked this photo
