Another Ruddy Duck...

Well, a mallard actually, which is a shame as I do like ruddy ducks.

An early visit to the duck pond this morning with my meagre offerings of bread to feed them - judging by the amount of crumbs around, I'd say someone had already beaten me to it. Still, the goose, the mallards and the gulls seemed happy to see me and came over to get their share. Others, like this one, decided to stay put and keep their spots on the bank warm.
