Greenock west esplanade 6th May 09, eider ducks
here and there, with the warship and green buoy in the background.
The drakes were there to woo the ladies and take an impromptu 'chance'.....
A herring gull noticed some surface disturbance (a female taking a submerged
bath) and it swooped in and landed very close by; there was no defence, or
aggro..it hung about for 30 seconds then took off again.
The ducks looked grand when rising up and displaying and spreading their
wings; both the males and females did this.
Entertainment in nature....
Br, Denis.
