Ducks, Ducks and More Ducks

After we said good-bye to the sheep, we came upon this pathway that follows the river right in Llanberis.  No hail happening here, so we took about a million pictures of the fun, curious, personable waterfowl we sighted at the water.



As you know from a previous blog, apparently there are different coloured Mallard because of a bit of interbreeding amongst the Mallards and other water fowls.  I'm not so sure about this, but I also can't identify them?
The colours are incredible and vibrant.  These ducks like their photos being taken.  Many posed.


(Below) This is the interesting Scaup duck.  Known by its blue bill.  These ducks travel with flocks and prefers the quietness of sheltered waters.  


A male Goosander.  His head is so black that it is very difficult to see his wee eyes.


The female Goosander has the greatest hairdo ever.


Two very chatty Snow Geese.  Vibrant white and orange and fun to watch.


Awesome picnic area.


"Do you think my feet are too big?"




"I can't do a thing with this hair?"


"I'm so ashamed.  I pooped in the water."



End of my time at the water, but I still have to 'walk' my wee female Goosander who followed me everywhere.
