I’m always impressed with the way mallards manage to keep their footing on these icy surfaces. This duck skidded a bit but recovered well, maintaining his dignity.
I always feel so bad for the ducks when the water is frozen. It means they have to look elsewhere for food and they are more susceptible to predation on the ice.

Fun capture, Belinda! I notice the misses is staying behind, keeping her fancy steps to herself 😆

They’re a hardy bunch but I do wonder about them in the winter.
