Mallards.

I took a small trip up the road to Duns Castle nature reserve to photograph the mallards on the lake,which was mostly frozen over.Armed with the camera gear and a pot of bird seed,I settled down at the side of the lake for an enjoyable,but cold,couple of hours.

Here are some of the images.

I just love being out in the countryside whenever possible and preferably with a camera.
