Skating Duck
It was a freezing January day in London when I walking over to the pond on Blackheath in the middle of the afternoon. The duck pond by the Princess of Wales pub had frozen over and I noticed that the water fowl were having all sorts of problems as they tried to cross the the frozen surface. I noticed this one duck looked as though he had mastered skating on the ice. I managed to get a couple of frames as he skated over the surface. This particular frame caught him mid stride. He looks as though he is concentrating hard to stay up.

Looks like Groucho Marx doing his ice skating routine.

Ha Ha, yes it does. I can't unsee this now!
