All together! 😊

Hello hivers, an happy Monday to you all! I hope you spent a nice weekend. I spent my weekend in a very busy (but happy!) way and so I started this working week a little tired. To relax my mind and to clear my thoughts, this morning I spent a long pause from my brushes and colors walking along the side of the river close to my home.
In a corner of the river there was a funny group of different birds and duck all together and so I couldn't resist to take some pics to share with you (using my camera, a Nikon coolpix B700)!
At first, the Grey Heron this time was not so shy as usual and so I can admire its wonderful, elegant profile:

It was not the only one in that corner, as you can see in the following pic:

Yes, there were the Grey Heron, four male mallard sleeping in quiet (I think their femals are busy with their eggs, because usually they stay all together) and, on the water, the female Aix sponsa!

The female ainx sponsa (the one with the white make up around the eyes) arrived here around a couple of years ago without a male, so I use towatch her close to the group of mallard. I'm a little sorry for her because at know she didn't find a "better half" but I cross my finger for her to have a "romantic" relationship. 😊

See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
