Long-tailed Duck
We spotted this beautiful male Long-tailed Duck in his winter dress from the pier in Binz, at the Baltic Sea, but he didn't want to pose us too long and dived. For more birds from all over the world visit World Bird Wednesday
Oh he's beautiful. And in this case, the dive just highlighted that beautiful tail, so it was well-timed. (I have thrown away a lot of not- nearly so pretty pictures of "duck-butts").
Absolutely fabulous Long Tailed duck shots! I envy you these close ups. I love the sound they make which sounds like sqeaking bed springs to me. Nice job!
