The Mallards at James Gardens were taking a break from searching and begging for food. There was a lot of grooming going on as they seem to be molting as evidenced by all the feathers you can see on the ground around them. This post of the ducks is for a special follower who loves to see them.

ReplyDeleteIf that were down here I'd say they are exhausted by the heat. But up there I guess they're just resting (as a character in a famous Monty Python spoof would say.)
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely together!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Mallard's pond dried up. A fine looking flock.
ReplyDeleteNice! Mallards are so cute.
ReplyDeleteThey need a break as every other living creature. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteI am sure they earned their break.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing that little flash of vibrant colour on their tail feathers Pat 💜
ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems like every living thing is constantly foraging for food. So it is pure delight to see any creature taking a break!
ReplyDeleteHappy to be alive and enjoying their surroundings!
