This sequence of shots was taken on our recent ride to the Kelpies. We stopped at Helix Park on the way; this has two large ponds, one manmade & the other more natural. Whilst at the first, I was busy getting some close-ups of the plethora of ducks & swans when my wife shouted that a swan was coming in to land. Still at max zoom on my 18-300mm lens I span round to try & catch the swan in flight (they always seem to fly when I’m looking the other way). I managed to get it in the lens & snapped a quick shot whilst panning rapidly with it.
This next one may not be technically correct, but I’m putting it in anywayI know the plural for sheep is sheep, but I prefer sheeps or sheepses (“change approved” as Ellie would say in Cougar Town).

These next shots are for Elke’s entry of Mussed Hair. Elke had a picture of a black tufted duck in her post, & I mentioned that I’d just seen some, to which she replied that I should post them; so here they are…
…and finally, another Scots word, meaning a group of six; sixsome
Sixsome o mire-ducks (a group of six mallard ducks)
