Excellent captures - well taken.
Really super photos. All well captured, but must say my favourites are bath time 1, 2 and 4. The water running off the duck shows just how waterproof their feathers are. Magic

Superb clarity - as expected from a Canon user - A fine example of how the humble mallard can be just as good a subject as the less common water fowl.

Thank you Jane! I'm glad you liked the images... end of the day, it's whether the image is pleasing to the beholder rather than it's technical merit which is always a point of contention...
and that is how we learn?
Kind regards

Not a place I know Rolf. In fact I can't recall having been anywhere in Kent.

Well, if you ever do find yourself down that part of the UK...

The British Wildlife Centre is a great way to spend a day and you can get some remarkable photos of animals that would be very difficult to happen across in the wild..
Have a good day
Kind regards

Boy, when you all put this fabulous work out there, it makes me realize how far I must go. They are all so perfect.
