Wild Stream Dweller! - Mallard Duck - NZ Southland by

Along our rural road in Southland there are many small streams and rivers. I often see the mallard ducks enjoying the cool waters. They are pretty weary of humans and soon swim up or down stream to get out of sight.

About AndreaEL

My fascination with birds began as a child and almost 50 years down the track my love for our feathered friends has not diminished. Once we moved to Tranquillity (our little country retreat) my passion for birds, all nature and wildlife became a digital reality through the lens of my camera.

    We find they are wary until someone turns up with bread and then they are all over them!! Great shot.

  • Thank you Colin, you are right they are easily tamed.
