These ducks are new visitors of the pond which is close to the school of my daughter. I wonder what is the species. I know the picture is not of the best quality but I hope the quality is good enough to be able to identify them.

These fellows do not come too close, they are a little bit shy.

I will come back soon with my insects :-)

Hello Marie, splendid shot of these cute ducks with a wonderful composition. TFS.
Regards, Mehmet

Hello Mariki perfect capture of these beautiful ducks. TFS. Regards,
Bahadır

Hi Marie,

Nice capture of these ducks which I believe are some kind of mixture of the domestic white duck and Mallard. The other one even seems to have some kind of weak ring on his neck. Anywere where wild ducks are in contact with the domestic ones interbreeding happens as especially with Mallard as it is very close relative. Very nicely composed, good colours and sharp details.

Hi marie. Somthing different from you tonight. Yes the detail is good and i think Pekka is right with his ID . You also have good natural colours. well done TFs.

Hall Marie,

Mooie foto en eens wat anders als insecten.
Volgens mij zijn dit boereneenden ook wel soepeenden genoemd.
Zijn gewoon tamme eenden die gemuteerd zijn.

groet Gert

Bellissima composizione di queste anatre che passeggiano sulla riva, ottima nitidezza, belli e luminosi i colori. Probabile che siano incroci di germani con anatre domestiche, inoltre sono in fase di muta del piumaggio per cui hanno perso parte dei loro colori usuali. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Marie, my dear friend,
Wonderful shot of these lovely ducks with nice details, great DOF and POV. Great composition and wonderful reflections on water surface. TFS my friend!
Cheers,

Bayram

Hello Mariki,
A pair of Indian Runners!
I used to keep ducks years ago and know that these are a tame hybrid of the Mallard known as the Indian Runner duck. They may have gone wild but I can't Credit you for this, I'm afraid! :(
Cheers,
Ivan

Hi Marie, lovely couple in great pose, splendid focus, great details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Marie Christine

A very good capture of these two ducks,I am not sure of the species.
Could they be in eclipse plumage perhaps.
The focus is good with sharp detail.'
The colours are natural.

Bonsoir Marie-Christine
Ils sont amusants ces 2 canards, celui qui tend le cou vers on ne sait quoi.. à l'air interrogatif.
Merci pour cette belle prise
