Posing for the Camera

By Paul Cecil | Published June 9, 2011

The mallards are feeling neglected. That surely can be the only reason that this drake decided to pose in front of the camera this morning. He pushed a rival away from the rock, clambered up and set about his arduous duties.

A young rabbit also decided that today was portrait day.

A heron performed a fly-past especially for the camera.

As for the sheep… they were completely disorganized and failed hopelessly to gather round for their group photo.

    Well, that's what happens when you have sheep without a Belgian shepherd dog handy 😉
