    That looks like a lot of fun. Almost makes me wish I was a duck.

    Bathing is not a chore or a necessity but a good dose of fun for this character. And it looks like a good water gym workout too. Great series of photos.

    Hi Love to see the ducks or any bird bathing. Such fun. I had Greylag bathing on a video this week (Sat) if you wish to have a peep.

    Good set of photographs Arija. If we could run them past quickly they would almost be moving. Hope you are well.

    Watching birds bathe is always so much fun. They look so happy, they make me want to be out there splashing with them....if the waters warm.

    Great set of shots - we had these rather splendid ducks on a dam behind the house we rented in the hills behind Lorne last week.

    If the truth be told, the pictures in my "collection" were taken on family trips, rather than work trips. Work tends not to send me away as often as it did in the past.

    Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne.

    PS: sorry for slow reply, I have been "off the grid" for a week.
