I love Wikipedia because it tells me things like this: ‘The word duck comes from Old English *dūce, a derivative of the verb *dūcan “to duck, bend down low as if to get under something, or dive”, because of the way many species in the dabbling duck group feed by upending.’ Makes sense, no?

1. White faced ducks at the London Zoo.

2. Seen at London’s Natural History Museum. (I see a rabbit, mostly.)

3. One of Russell Maurice’s paintings, seen at the Stolen Space gallery.

4. Sitting ducks.

5. My mother’s capuccino. She got very excited when she noticed her new pet.
