Female Ring-necked Duck sketch
quick colour sketch of the ring-necked duck near pymoor this morning, done from memory when i got back home into the warm and out of the wind. it was quite distant when duncan and i watched it, but its face pattern stood out reassuringly. to be honest i'm on;ly posting this to see if i can.
