A  curious duck at Upper Lake in Glendalough Valley, Wicklow Mountains National Park, Ireland

After a long hike along the Derrybawn Woodland Trail in Glendalough Valley I stopped to rest along the water’s edge of the Upper Lake.  As I was photographing the landscape, I noticed this curious duck swimming alongside the beach.  The duck spent several minutes curiously looking in my direction as if it was posing for my camera.
