Fun shot, Preach! Maybe he needs to adjust his gross takeoff weight (pilot joke)! Thanks for sharing.

Great capture! What kind of duck/bird is this? I don't think we have any where I live...

Thanks Shelley. This is a Red Crested Pochard found mainly in southern England and scattered parts of Europe. Glad you like it. PAUL

Cheers Trudi. Your quote reminds me a little about the Bumble Bee. It's body weight to wings ratio determines that it is impossible for it to fly, problem is, no-one has told it yet! Glad you like. PAUL
