    Default Pintail and Shoveler

    A couple from the Marsh walk today. I know they're not uncommon at all, but I just love them and never tire of watching them.

    Love the PIntail! I guess you had some sun today?

    Shovelers have SUCH huge bills.

    They're not as pretty as Pintails, but are well-equipped to feed on what they need. It has really beady eyes too!

    Not seen a pintail for a few years, missed the odd one or two which have been spotted nearby, love Shovelers, have almost a comic quality.
