Back in February, Lisa and I visited Blackbrook Zoological Park near Leek in Staffordshire.
(Best viewed enlarged to see the raindrops)
It started to drizzle after lunch. Persistent light rain; enough to make us dampish, but not enough to make us run for cover.
Some animals sought shelter, but to others, it was just water off a duck's back.
These Chilean wigeon didn't look too bothered either.
I'm joining up with Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday, where R is for raindrops.
lovely pictures
ReplyDeleteI always loved that these ducks mate for life! Rain drops don't seem to bother them at all. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteDelightful ducks! I love the colors of the first one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ducks that let you get so close.
ReplyDeleteSuch exotic ducks, when compared to the rather ordinary flock around our pond!
ReplyDeleteThe arrangement of their fathers and the colors are stunning! Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteThose ducks have such beautiful feather colours and markings. There are so many different types of ducks and water birds at Blackbrook to enjoy:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ducks & great captures.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful birds. Yup water off a ducks back! One of my mother's famous sayings.~Ames
ReplyDeleteChilean wigeon. I love that name!
ReplyDeleteIf I was a Chilean wigeon I wouldn't let anything bother me...I would be so busy preening with my cool name!
Thanks for a ridiculously cute post this week.
