Picture Perfect Pintail

Another winter visitor arrived today in the shape of a male Goldeneye, a little too far away to get a decent pic of it. With the frost starting we can expect the Tufted ducks to arrive soon too, they are very cute ducks with a fabulous hairstyle ! Meanwhile the pintail that arrived the other day has taken up residence among the Mallards and is incredibly - pushing them around ! It was enjoying the wheat on offer and did not want the Mallards having any, if they got too close they got a nip ! I got some very detailed shots of the pintail, they are beautifully marked birds.
