Day 71
There are two challenges on my list to do, Sleep and Animal. I was very pleased that today I could combine them together in one photograph.
I was out for my daily walk at a local nature park, when I had noticed that in the pond were hundreds of ducks!
When I was looking through my view finder, I saw that they were asleep. I immediately walked slower and quieter. I slowed down my breathing and movements as I took the photograph.

Looking through my view finder.. I could see so were sound asleep... but one... on guard quacking very quietly. Warning me or his friends?
Thank you for taking a look!
I will see you very soon!

Ducks are most active during the day, usually early mornings, and late afternoon. Like humans who are active during the day, most birds spend their night with one goal; sleep. Scientist claim that ducks engage in what is know as single-hemisphere sleep. The eye that is controlled by the sleeping side of their brain is closed, the other is open /active and on the lookout for dangers. There is no collective word for a group of ducks although they are most commonly known as a raft (if in water) or badelyng, flock, flush or a bunch. These Mallards are one of the most common and recognizable species of dabbling ducks.
