Lovely series! It's amazing how such a common bird can look so stunning.

Thank you Hemma. It's actually green but when the light hits it just right it goes from green to blue to purple :). I just moved a bit for the light to be at the right angle :).

the pics are lovely. The first duck seems to be a blue headed Mallard.
