Duck Fashions and a some grey furry things…

By Paul Cecil | Published October 12, 2011

I'll start tonight's blog with a trio of pictures of one of the white (Aylesbury?) ducks that are recent arrivals at Falmer pond. There's a pair, and this one has the more distinctive pink bill. It was 'ducking' in the water, adopting various stylish fashion modes, such as…
'Veiled'

'Victorian Bustle'

'Elizabethan Ruff'

As for the 'grey furry things' of the title, there are grey squirrels…

…and there are rats.

    Darko, as ever I took loads of shots of the duck 'ducking'. I love the way the water flows over them as they bring their head up.

    Adele, I'm becoming quite fond of the rats, though I'm sticking to a 400mm lens for them!

    Lois, that old bit of iron really helps the rat photos. It gives the photos just a touch of decay.
