This mallard was swimming his patch of the lake, there’s still a bit of ice around but not enough to keep him by the shoreline. It was a beautiful sunny day and the sun caught the brilliance of his feathers. Spring is definitely here, he was looking his best and if he hasn’t gotten hitched up it won’t be long now!

Some people call them ‘green heads’.

Male mallards are stunningly beautiful, especially in the right light; and you captured his brilliance with aplomb, Belinda.
