Hello Oana,
This is really an amazing story. Like you ,I wonder what will happen to the eggs or the ducklings? May be someone will remove them.
Very interesting document to show the animal-adaptability to urban life.
The shot is well taken and somehow funny. The female mallard seems to ask herself the same questions than you .
Thanks and take care
Anne

Buna, ati imortalizati un eveniment deosebit de interesant, cuibul unei rate mari pe un pod, daca am inteles bine. Ratustele vor supravietui cu siguranta,sau adaptat la coborituri din asemenea situatii. Poza documenteaza foarte bine, descrierile asemanatoare din literatura de specialitate, referitor la cuibarirea ratei nari in scorburi de copaci etc.la inaltimi mai mari. Felicitari pentru aceasta fotografie!
Numai bine,

Hi Oana,
I would say that a jump will probably be no issue. Small animals land slowly and don't hurt themselves.
(A common mistake is to think that all objects fall at the same speed. The air slows down falling objects. The smaller they are the largest the effect. Think of droplets of water in the fog that even remain suspended).
It is unusual to see mallards nesting that high. Very interesting shot.

Oana, very unique capture. I like the face that the mallard is looking out over the water. It is almost as though she is wondering the same thing as you... "I hope my babies will be able to fly, or at least float!" I imagine they will be fine, since they are water fowl...

See my workshop for added vibrance and a small crop.

Until next time,
Michael

Hello Oana,
Very original shot of this female mallard on a "balcony" over the river. I'm not worry about the little ducks. I think it is a good place for them because they are able to swim whem they come out the eggs. Best regards,
Catherine

A very intriguing situation this one has itself in...Here in the states...NYC I believe some raptors camped out on a building and it was all the rage in downtown Manhattan..Very nice...and good angle for this one!

Hello Oana !
Among so many pictures of Mallards, this one stands out for sure ! I wonder what Mrs Mallard was thinking when she made her nest here ? A stange place ! Just like you, I wonder whatwill happen with the babies.... But the picture is excellent, it made me smile, I like it a lot. Very well done !
Valérie.

hi, Oana
thanks for commenting on my post! I like this picture because you have a great view of the eggs and the duck. The 'problem' is, that you can't see the ducks tail feathers.
