Water off a duck's back

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.

  1. I always loved that these ducks mate for life! Rain drops don't seem to bother them at all. Sweet!

  9. Chilean wigeon. I love that name!

    If 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.

    A+
