Northern Pintail ♂ / Anas acuta / 尖尾鴨 (雄鳥)

            (Back once again after a short personal break, thank you for your patience.)

Coming out of my usual hiding spot along the riverbank, I must have startled this male Northern Pintail, because it leapt straight into the air and directly into flight.

Thank you for your interest, views, faves, comments and awards ! This image was captured in Hong Kong 香港, and is copyright ©️ Rick C. Graham.
