Another Photo of An Old Friend


One of Tuftyโ€™s relatives has been making a bit of a splash down in Australia of late, being the first ever Tufted Duck to visit the land. Bird-watchers are in a flutter.

They should really have called by this blog; there are literally hundreds of thousands of Tufty photos dotted all about the place. One more shouldnโ€™t make a difference.

Tufty hasnโ€™t been by the Lake for quite a while now, and if Tufty has ventured to the Land Down Under, then good for himโ€ฆ although I have a feeling it is a distant relative that has moved thereโ€ฆ

A Quacking Six Word Saturday post.
(Although Tufted Ducks make more of a purring sound than a quack)

      Well, sort of purring, Becky. A sped up Raven-type of purring.
      Let’s see if this works:

      Ah good! It works… found the video on You Tube.
      It definitely isn’t a quack! ๐Ÿ˜€

        Brilliant recording, and a perfect description ‘speeded up raven”!

          Hehe! I think so. It was more of a purr in another recording, I hasten to add! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Oh dear….I thought that was Tufty….I wonder where he is. Can you really tell them apart TL or could this be Tufty???? VK ๐Ÿ™‚

      I think I can, VK, although they are very similar to each other they do have subtle differences. Tufty’s ‘ponytail’ for example is really short! The photo is Tufty… the one in Australia I don’t think so! ๐Ÿ˜€ It would be cool if it was though!

    Nice to see Tufty again! And I like your new white background – it’s much easier for my overworked eyes to read. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Thanks, Diane – yes, I had to call upon Tufty once again.
      I’m not finished with the blog’s theme yet… I still haven’t found the right one. (Can you believe it after all this time?)
