Absolutely – was that the root of indignant feelings – had he / she not quite finished preparing for the camera?!

Almost certainly. A Duck’s Public expects better 😉

Ducks conversational powers are limited, I think, and mainly confined to indignation in my experience .

I stand corrected. My experience with ducks is severely limited.

Such a delightful picture Margaret. I think she has so much to tell you and is a little overexcited to finally meet someone who has sympathy for her cause. That is, most definitely, a duck smile!

Is it for real? I thought at first it was a sculpture. Definitely surprised at the camera being thrust into its face! Polite to ask next time…

What a brilliant portrait. That duck looks somewhere between “I’m really curious.” and “I’m not sure what you want from me.” b
