Chestnut Teal







The Chestnut Teal is one of the few ducks able to tolerate high salinity waters, although it still needs fresh drinking water.

They look like they might even have a nutty smell to them, like a Mars Bar.

That's very sweet of you Petite Fleur :) I can only focus on one 'fun thing' at a time due to lack of time for myself. At the moment it's being a Birdbrain ...

It looks like it's floating on a spotted bean-bag. A lusciously colour ed head.

Its neck would be very sore by now if it was on a beanbag Modroom. Its head is green all over but saturates from neighbouring colours for camouflage - I guess.

A paper bag on your head with two holes in it might help. Haa ha hoo.

You should return to IF and use these birds as your entry. Let's see, you could have used the last photo for "Citrus" - the bird ate the lemon and it was too sour so it hid it's head! The other one was Neighbor, neighbour for you and you certainly have many photos that qualify. Please return to IF.

Hmmmm, it would feel dishonest to post 'old' photographs on Illustration Friday, and don't have the time to take a new photo to suit the topic. It would bring observers .... hmmm. Yes, I do have 'different' neighbours to most Ces :)

Thank you Hardwax, I do my best :))
