Macro Monday – Duck Portraits

Today I visited the park in Torrevieja Spain. There are many ducks in it. I decided, using the 70-300 lens, to make Duck Portraits. I was horribly surprised by a Musky Duck that attacked me. Without challenging her with anything. When I got home, I found that I had bruises on my right foot. I was afraid of her aggression.

The others were kind to me and took some portraits.

  1. I wasn’t sure about ducks but geese and swans can tear off a human arm.
    I watched in horror as an oriental man teased a black swan with no mercy, the black swan went for the man as he kicked the swan with his foot. I caught the picture. I thought under the circumstances the black swan was more than tolerant.
    The oriental man was fortunate not to be in hospital

    • I did not even think that something like that could happen. I photographed the peacocks and left. As I walked past her, she started to sigh. He went after me and started attacking me. I’ve been there many times, and I’ve always fed them. Perhaps she had a bad day.

  2. Yes, I knew ducks can be sometimes aggressive. Take care of your injury. I must admit that I have never seen those types of ducks here in Canada. Wild turkeys yes but not ducks with pink and red outcrops on their heads. Our ducks here are usually plain patchy brown and some are very colorful with green and black and white. Anyway, the pictures that you took at the risk of being mauled are simply amazing.
