So these first three shots are of Goosander, the first two being male and the third female. As part of their preening routine they scratched and rearranged their feathers and then shook them back into position. I like the diamond pattern in the first picture, formed by the outstretched wings and the dark feathers of the birds' back.
In comparison to the males the female in the third picture was much more calm and serene. I like the chocolate brown plumage of the head with the white bib which almost looks like a smile.
I took this final shot because it struck me as funny how all four ducks buried their heads at the same time, as if they were camera shy. Can you come up with a suitable caption for this picture? if so leave a comment...
