Birds Can be funny

[Beryl]

Here is a nice little slide show showing you how silly some birds can be

Nice work Beryl.  As you can see I've embedded it for you.   

What software do you use for making these slideshows? 

[Beryl]

Thank you.

I use CS5 extended to crop the photos and Windows Moviemake 2.6 which can be down loaded and will work on Window7 32 and 64 bit

Well done, beryl!!! I've never even seen a couple of those birds before. LOL

[Beryl]

Thank you

The second photo is a Silver Apple yard cross mallard duck and that colourful duck standing is a juvenile Mandarin Duck

The whit Little Egret is side stepping because a gull wanted his crab ( The gull didn't get it)

[Skhilled]

Thanks for the update. I've never heard of those 2 before but have heard of a Egret.

The Silver Apple-yard was originally bred from the mallard as a Runner . When they escape they get back with the wild mallard and you get a cross the is more the Mallard size and very pretty

Here she is acting a little more sensibly with her ducklings.
I Don't know how to make full size attachments yet

It's amazing how the babies usually look so different than the parents. LOL

Loved the shot of the juvenile mandarin, only seen those at ZSL Regents Park and somewhere else (in captivity though) and for the life of me can't remember where the other place was. great set of shots and liked the slide show (no volume as at work)

[Beryl]

Thanks I captured the Mandarin  here in Devon  at Dawlish. There are a pair too in  Kelsey Park  Beckenham kent

I come from Hampstead so I know Regents park very well. I loved Hampstead Heath

Love Devon in-laws live in Appledore in the north and my parents live in Torquay. Would be down there like a shot if thework was there...

That's because bread again with a wild Mallard. Only 4 of those duckling survived. Two of each and the little yellow ones turned completely white and are  fractionally smaller than the wild Mallard.
It goes to show though all the tampering they do to obtain new breads.

There are two types of Silver Appleyards the large and the miniature. She is obviously a miniature cross but she still hasn't the curly tail of the Mallard

I'd be back in Hampstead if I could. I'm in Exmouth and I live just across the rad from the estuary
