EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 1980s, a Muscovy duck takes a leisurely seat atop an old barn roof in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, England. The rugged, rolling hills of the dales provide a breathtaking backdrop to this unexpected scene, as the duck's vibrant plumage contrasts starkly against the weathered tiles and slate of the barn's roof. Muscovy ducks, also known as Brazilian ducks or Peruvian ducks, are a type of large, flightless waterfowl native to Central and South America. They are part of the Anatidae family, which includes swans, geese, and other ducks. These ducks are well-adapted to living in a variety of environments, from wetlands to grasslands, and are known for their distinctive, loud quacking. Despite their tropical origins, Muscovy ducks have become established in many parts of Europe and North America, where they have been introduced for farming or have escaped from captivity. In this image, it is unclear how this particular duck came to find itself on the roof of the old barn. Perhaps it was drawn to the water source nearby, or perhaps it simply fancied a change of scenery. The roof of the barn, with its intricate pattern of pantiles and slate, is a testament to the region's rich history and traditional farming practices. The Yorkshire Dales, with their stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife, continue to attract visitors from around the world, making this image a fitting representation of the area's unique charm and character. This photograph, first published in The Sunday Times in 1989, captures a moment of unexpected beauty and intrigue, reminding us of the wonders that can be found in the most unexpected of places.
