Having gone to the office today (my employer's slowly transitioning away from letting folks work from wherever/whenever), I was late for the train back home, so I took a detour by the river and met this very friendly pair of mallards.

(These are barely-cropped phone shots! Didn't have my camera with me nor a tele lens in my phone – they got really close.)

@doersino Cute! "feed us please"

@Sus Hi Suz, nice clip. I also love the cat decor!

@Sus Nice tree shots. Oh, I just looked her up, she has a very pretty face!

@RegularApistevist Gorgeous..I see my queen Karula in those eyes!

@GeriAQuin So great! Love it

@RegularApistevist I like it. The cameras do some wild things with the sunrises and sunsets, it's part of what I liked about watching the sunrise drive

@RegularApistevist Rude awakening for sure, he basically hugged Shasha, looks like no major harm done. Like Shasha wasn't submissive already. Leopards are so moody

@RegularApistevist nice

@RegularApistevist Wow, I don't think I've ever seen that kind of an encounter so clearly on the dam cam. What a clip. Hope Maribs was all right. Molwati reminds me a little of Tingana in the face, like they're (were) cousins

@yudderick aw, what a crew, awesome! happy b-day kittens :)

@RegularApistevist Fun news! I hope it proves successful!

@reservoir_bunny very 😢

One of the eagle nests I used to watch fell down and the eaglet died. Apparently it was on a dead branch that gave way. Poor baby. 😢 🦅

@gladsdotter third one is priceless :D

@RegularApistevist I will always love that guy

@RegularApistevist That is beautiful! I always feel like having a cub brings out the fun in a leopard mom

@RegularApistevist 😆

And that makes two overrated musical performers on the oscars so far year. 👎 #oscars2023 #oscars

@BintyMcFrazzles stupid people, you take care. It makes me tense just watching.
