Have a nice day! Today I will introduce you to my new friends :-) I photographed them on our pond, where they flew in the first days of April. Almost immediately, my attention was drawn to this handsome goose.

He swam so importantly without paying attention to anyone that for some reason I wanted to start my photo session with him... However, he did not swim alone, but with his girlfriends.

Who just wasn't here. And mallards and ducks and blackbirds and pigeons and even gulls.

Mallards-birds from the duck family (order geese) have a rather interesting color. You will immediately recognize them once you see them. They are the most famous and widespread wild ducks in our region.

The body length of males is about 62 cm, and females-about 57 cm, the weight reaches from 1 to 1.5 kg.
The head and neck of the males are green, but the goiter and chest are brownish-brown, the back and ventral side of the body are gray with thin transverse spots.

The color of the female is brown with darker spots, the ventral side is brownish-gray with longitudinal mottling. On the wing, the male and female have a blue-purple"mirror". This plumage looks very attractive, doesn't it?

Although birds and waterfowl, but they often like to walk and on the grass. I even managed to photograph some of them on a walk.
