Hi friends
Good it goes of ducks, in this occasion I raise White-headed Duck (oxyura leucocephala) a bird of which they only got to be left 20 units in all Europe and that thanks to the purchase of a lagoon in the province of Cordoba (Spain) for ecologists was saved this species. Nowadays it has a problem that is the hybrids of ruddy duck (oxyura jamaicensis) that was introduced in the United Kingdom and it extended on the part of Europe, this was the drop of water that does that the glass is spilled
, but this problem also is to resolve with hunters specialized in identifying and eradicating to the ruddy duck and the hybrids.
I hope that you like

Hola Amigos
Bueno va de patos, en esta ocasión subo a la malvasía cabeciblanca (oxyura leucocephala) un ave del que sólo llegaron a quedar 20 ejemplares en toda Europa y que gracias a la compra de una laguna en la provincia de Córdoba (Spain) por unos ecologistas se salvó dicha especie. Hoy en día tiene un problema que es la hibridación con la malvasía canela (oxyura jamaicensis) que fue introducida en el Reino Unido y se extendió por parte de Europa, este problema ha sido la gota que derrama el vaso de agua, pero este problema también se trata de solventar con cazadores especializados en identificar y erradicar a las canelas y a los híbridos.
Espero que os guste

Hi Jorge,
a nice picture of a beautilful and rare duck, never seen it before. The low POV, the reflection and droplet is what I like most here and of course the good note too.
Thanks for showing us.
Well done.

Hello Jorge,
Excellent capture of this rare species of duck, sharp and well presented, with excellent notes mentioning the problem caused by the introduction of the Ruddy Duck into Europe.
TFS, regards, Ivan

nice duck, TFS Ori

Hola Jorge. En este caso el pato me recuerda a mi hijo cuando está a gusto (cuando le das masajes p.e.)¡se le cae la baba!. Se ve en la imagen que el animalito lo está en su hábitat.
Preciosos detalles y la luz. Curiosa la deformación que refleja el agua de la cabecita del pato.
Saludos, JL.

Hi Jorge,

Very good shot. The POV is good, as well as the reflection. The drop of water is a bonus.

The whites are exposed well :)

Hello Jorge,
very well captured, the details are great, specially the water dripping from its beak, what timing. POV, sharpness and lighting is wonderful. Very well done.

Wow. A rare one with a wonderful photo. I like the sharpness, pose and the drop on its beak.

Hola Jorge Javier,
Bellos colores, gran detalle y excelente composición. Me imagino que te referirás a la laguna del Salobral. Los embalses de Malpasillo y Cordobilla también tienen malvasías. (Me crié a 2 km del embalse de Malpasillo)
Un saludo, José M.

Hi Jorge,
a great picture which I am really jealous of. Not because it is just a nice image, but also the story behind it. I went to Lago de Zonar this spring, but unfortunately missed these beauties. I one day hope to see them so beautiful as you did.
Regards, Jacob

Si es que los Cordobeses son muy enrrollaos y se involucran a tope, ya me acuerdo de aquellas movidas de los ochenta.

Una suerte poder "cazar" a uno de estos, yo les tengo jmuchas ganas. Un saludete, la foto está muy pero que muy chula.

Belle photo, il est bisard ce canard, très beau parce que pas comme les autres mais bisard.J' aime sa tête,son reflet et la etite goute qui tombe de son bec,je trouve cela mignon. Amicalement Thomas
