RAMSEY QUAKERS CRITTER

Critters Sunday


As you know I was supposed to be running a series of photos this coming week, Ramsey Beach Images. Of course the moment I suggest that it has consistently rained. Typical. Fortunately I always have a ready stock of recent beach bird images, such as this one. Now I think this is a Muscovy. Can you confirm or deny that out there in critter land?


Funny name Muscovy don't you think? Muscovy meaning coming from the Moscow area but these ducks are don't originate from there. It seems it could be the company that traded in the bird may have given the bird the name, rather than the area. Also Muscovy could be Musk Duck. Anyway lots of Muscovy related stuff for you at wiki here. 


As you've noticed a logo now appears on the image. Sorry folks but well if you've been reading this week you'll know about the problems. For those just passing through, lets just say keep an eye on your own blog and images. They are yours, not anyone else's. 


Take this blog, it's me Babooshka,Ramsey Daily Photo, http://dailyphotoisleofman.blogspot.com/
Anywhere else it's theft. 


It's been a long week. See you on faceboook see logo. For more critters see Misty Dawn to join or view others.

    Excellent advice about protecting your work. I have to start doing the same. Insert a text box via PhotoShop I'm thinking?

    Getting more snow here and it's only -10C after being -20C this morning. Can I send you some snow??

    Hi! I couldn't tell you if it is a Muscovy or not. It is funny looking, but yet very pretty. I love the mow-hawk and the eye. Very intense. Lisa

    We have those ducks here in Florida too. Very cute when they're young, but as they grow up, not so cute.
    Thanks for visiting my blog:)

    So that's what a Muscovy looks like.
    He's certainly got his beady eye on us..

    Not the most handsome duck. I prefer mine on a plate. I do remember my mother bringing them home live for my father to deal to. We had the great job of plucking them.
    Hope the watermark helps with picture theft. Keep us posted.

    I try to always have © info on every image that makes it's way out of my camera into the sometimes cold and cruel world. Too bad if a few don't want the intrusion ... don't forget about the IPTC data in the file info attached to the photo!

    I had a pet duck (a drake) as a child, but not a Muscovy. His name was Hankie, and he followed me everywhere. Never knew ducks could be so affectionate either.

    That is definitely a Muscovy. We used to raise them on the farm. Thanks for your many visits to my blog and I enjoy visiting yours.
