Anas clypeata
Anseriformes - Anatidae
Aucune animation chez ces canards, des attentes frustrées d'actions qui ne sont jamais survenues... la plupart se reposaient.
I waited in vain for some action with these gorgeous shovelers but to no avail!
Most of them were resting.

In the distance, a female plays "pelican"!
A un autre bout de la réserve, quelques individus volent au loin:

Hi Noushka.
RépondreSupprimerBeautiful pictures you have taken of the shovelers.
The Pelican is also super.
Groettie from Patricia.
Than you Patricia,
Supprimerbut the "pelican" is a Shoveler duck posing as a pelican!! ;-)
Hi Noushka, you have managed to get both of my favourite ducks with the Shoveler and Pintail. They are such a delightful bird with the colouration. All the best Regards John
RépondreSupprimerAll the ducks and the water and the air are great pictures. Interesting head- quarters have duck pretending pelican. Regards.
RépondreSupprimerOuais mais c est tout de même de beaux canards ;-) belles images !
RépondreSupprimerEach bird has it's own beauty, including your Shoveler with it's huge bill from which it gets it's most appropriate name.
RépondreSupprimerWonderful illustrations as always Noushka.
Hello Noushka, awesome shots of the ducks. The male shoveler is a beauty! Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!

bonne fin de journée
Beautiful pictures. It doesn't matter that the shovelers aren't doing anything interesting. Your pictures are lovely and sharp and I love the contrast of the blue sky behind the flying mallards.
RépondreSupprimerFabulous photos. I love Shovelers, their beaks always fascinate me and they are pretty birds as well. Hope that you are feeling better. Take care, hugs Diane
RépondreSupprimerHi Noushka, I hope that you are feeling better now.
RépondreSupprimerI love the way that you have captured the amazing irridescence of the drake Shovelers. The tantalising glimps of the Pintail in that first image is a real tease too!
Take very good care, and keep warm - - - Richard
Hello Noushka,
RépondreSupprimerNo action, but evenso beautiful pictures of these colorful shovelers.
I also love your last picture of the flying ducks.
Best regards, Corrie
Ils sont magnifiques ces canards! Quelles belles photos! Superbes!
RépondreSupprimerHi Noushka,
RépondreSupprimerI never managed to take pictures of the shovelers like you show us here. Absolutely beautiful. The birds are worth it to be photographed. The "pelican look alike" sure is a hit :)
Greetings, Kees
The detail is astounding, Noushka. Maybe you can come over here and take pictures of me and make me look that good!!
