I discovered also that ducks and seagulls are apparently terrified of swans. Once the latter turned up the rest of the birds gave them generally a wide berth.
with good reason. i was surprised by that close up of the swan you posted a page or so back. that is usually the last shot a photographer gets before being knocked into the water camera and all by a swan. the constant bribery of bread for your swans must have made them friendlier towards people.
was this the punk haired duck you saw(link provided since while it was shot with a leica lens it was not on a leica camera)?
it\'s a muscovy duck, which is the most common type that we eat.
