I love the feel of this image, like the duck in the background lost track of time and is paddling fast and quacking "wait for me guys". Love it!

Deixa-me adivinhar, a fême é a que já tem a cabeça de fora...

@Gonçalo: Não Gonçalo. A espécie tem forte dimorfismo sexual, tendo os machos uma cabeça de cor verde muito característica e a fêmea apresenta praticamente toda a plumagem em tons castanho. Ambos têm penas azuis nas asas. Na imagem não se vê nenhuma fêmea.

Looks as if their turf differences are almost sorted out.

Funny title! It really does like like this is a part of a naval exercise. They look so serious! Well caught.

Do you know who Vinícius E Toquinho is but they are a famous composers and they wrote this song which I used to sing when I was little :)
Lá vem o pato
Pato aqui, pato acolá
Lá vem o pato
Para ver o que é que há.

O pato pateta
Pintou o caneco
Surrou a galinha
Bateu no marreco.

Pulou do poleiro
No pé do cavalo
Levou um coice
Criou um galo.

Comeu um pedaço
De jenipapo
Ficou engasgado
Com dor no papo.

Caiu no poço
Quebrou a tigela
Tantas vez o moço
Que foi pra panela

@Lorena: Muito obrigada. É pena que não dê para colocar música nesta página.

I always like how active ducks are. A fine shot of them paddling along. I once lived on a pond where ducks would try to land when it was frozen over. It was very funny to watch them come sliding in for a landing!

Batalha naval de Trafalgar?
P.S.: I'll be absent for the next two weeks, but Gilles M., Gilles D. and Alain B. will continue to visit your blog and answer your comments on our blog. I'll go to Turkey, will post my photos on my private website, so you can compare with yours if you wish...

@Wolfgang - vu@granby: Good trip. Turkey is a beautiful, enchanting country and I love its people. I miss you. :)
