He seems startled at the thought someone would want to take his picture.
I love ducks with green feathers, something about the silky flash it has in the water.
Those yellow eyes are really impressive ! Thanks for making us discover this particular species ; I did learn something today, and I really enjoy that.
Awesome reflection shot!
