We believe this is one of the baby ducks (which family started out at three ducklings and ended up as two - which is a good percentage!) which we nurtured along with the very good mother duck a few months back.

Pacific black duck
I recall awhile back, this forum said they like ducks (and less controversial post!!). This is a Pacific Black Duck which, amongst others, has taken up residence in our garden which is handy to our neighbour's pool and a supply of parrot food from us

Beautiful shot.
I love the smooth background.
The exif says it was taken at 420mm. Which lens was this?
From the EXIF data I'd guess a 300mm/4 plus a 1.4x TC. Sheila, what's the big yellow thing (reflected in the bird's eye and giving the bird a strong yellow colouring)?
Nice bokeh.

Yes, it was my 300 plus 1.4 TC. The reflection is possibly the sun on the grass in front of the duck but that's just a guess.
