The mallards are grouping together for the flight south and this guy was particularly colourful.

@Siddhesh: thanks Siddhesh - probably not thought of here as our most colourful because they are so common but this picture might cause a re-think on that...

@Françoise: J'ai été très près probablement à environ 15 pieds, je suppose - ils sont très apprivoisés dans ces parties s'attendent à être nourris tout le temps ...
@Alphons: thanks Alphons - I occasionally get one right ;-)
