This image is really ironic for me, I have the Welsh flag flying above my desk a good friend that used to work with me left, and today I have the same feathered species in my image, too funny. I love this comical image it is so well captured Richard, well done!

Fantastic shot. Very funny. The duck looks very confident and has a funny "face". Well captured. Good work

@Anthony Lambert: Tee hee...a well funny comment Anthony. But I must say, this Muscovy duck had a heart as fierce as any dragon; he chases off people, dogs, cats, and probably would be a match for the local dragon population.
He has this habit of sitting on this fence and projecting missiles from his backside at passers by; smelly projectiles as dangerous as any fire spitting dragon.

impostor -impostor! or maybe not? maybe the original designer of the flag just got a little carried away? ;) awesome shot!

@dj.tigersprout: It was one of those moments, when it all seems to come together just right.
