Hello Everyone,

I was in London Friday with the new camera. I took this picture of the London Mallard. Probably not as wild as it's country cousins and enjoys the posher things in life like swimming in Trafalgar Square.

No fear of people at all and weren't even bothered by all the people taking pictures of them.

All comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Not the wildest of habitat Payat {although i suspect it gets a bit wild at night :toast: }.

Nice crisp shot of this Cockney chap, and definately a different mallard shot from the norm!!

Hi Payat,

Excellent feather detail and colours in this Urban Duck! A good Man and Nature capture!

I really like this shot Payat, quite refreshing! Just goes to show that wildlife is quite adaptable, to a degree.

I love this because of the tiles below. It says everything you need to know about how adaptable nature in general and mallards in particular, can be. Well done.
