Featheredfriday. Ducks in the royal park. / Утки в королевском парке.

in #featheredfriday6 years ago
Some photos from my Austrian trip in 2011. On the first day we went to the royal park of Schönbrunn. There is a beautiful zoo. But today I want to show the birds encountered near the fountain in the park, not on the territory of the zoo. Несколько фотографий из моей австрийской поездки в 2011 году. В первый же день мы отправились в королевский парк Шенбрунн. Там есть прекрасный зоопарк. Но я хочу сегодня показать птиц, встреченных около фонтана в парке, не на территории зоопарка.
These are a few ducks, quietly sitting along the side of the fountain. It was possible to get close to them, it is good to examine and photograph them. Это несколько уток, спокойно сидевших вдоль бортика фонтана. К ним можно было близко подойти, хорошо их рассмотреть и сфотографировать.
White duck - unusual. Whether the mutation of the mallard, or a separate some kind species. Белая утка – необычная. То ли мутация кряквы, то ли отдельный какой-то вид.

I confidently identified the other ducks as mallards. They clearly expressed sexual dimorphism. Here is a handsome drake. Остальных я уверенно определила как крякв. У них четко выражен половой диморфизм. Вот красавчик селезень.

In the female duck, the coloring is uniformly speckled. У уточки-самки окраска равномерно-рябенькая.

And here is a couple of mallards sitting side by side. The impression was created that ducks live well and calmly in this park. А вот и парочка крякв, сидящих рядышком. Создалось впечатление, что уткам в этом парке живётся хорошо и спокойно.

Why do the males get all the good looks in the animal kingdom beautiful colors to show off from every angle.

First duck having a black beak speckled face and white body most unusual find, great photography share!

Thank you!
Yes, I, too, white duck seems very interesting.
With coloring I see such a natural logics: females give birth and raise offspring. For safety, they have the maximum protective coloring, so that they are not seen by predators. And males should deserve the attention of females, including with beauty. :)

Not sure if it will be this week to much rain to get out looking for birds

Because you think so.

Wow beautiful duck photographs.
looks happy with water pond.
Awesome photographs my friend...

Thank you!

White ducks are known to breed with other duck species my friend and I think the first duck here is a result. The mallard couple is beautiful.
Blessings!

Thank you!
Yes, I also thought that the first duck is a hybrid of different species.

Awesome ducks~

Thank you!
