Lovely photos Linda, I assume the ducks are used to people when you can get as close as that. There are sometimes a few up at the lake but there's little or no chance of getting photos of them Alfie

thanks Alfie, in the quarry the ducks, canada geese and swans are so used to us humans as the nature reserve loads of people feed them and they walk their dogs in there, even horse back riders venture in, they are very close so get good close up pics
