Photo from Perth today

On the way home from my bone density scan at Perth Royal Infirmary we called into Gannochy Duck Pond in Perth. Martin was particularly hoping to see their mandarin ducks - a very unusual thing to see in Scotland. The mandarin ducks were there but staying largely under cover, though he got some pictures. But there were lots of other birds to photograph. I especially liked this photo of three mallard ducks, with loads of interesting reflections in the water.

Three mallard ducks swimming to the left in a row across a river in front of reed beds. There are many reflections in the water, of the beige reeds behind, and the three ducks below. The reflections are shaky and wiggly, and quite artistic. The birds at the left and right in the picture are male, brightly coloured, with green heads, brown neck/chest and grey/white body. In the middle is a female mallard, with mottled brown/beige colouring.
