One legged duck

This solitary Muscovy duck is on our camping site and as I got closer he wasn’t bothered at all continuing to stand on one leg.
Apparently ducks stand on one leg, called unipedal resting, to help regulate and maintain body temperature. A bird on ice reduces the amount of unfeathered surface exposed to the elements by standing on one leg
