Ey Up Mi Duck!
A selection of ducks from our latest visit – a Mallard, a Ruddy Shelduck (I love that name!), I’m not quite sure on the third one (a Cape Teal, thaks Bob), any ideas? and a Wigeon. Apologies if any of these are incorrect.
Some gulls and a Coot thrown in for good measure.

Lovely shots Sian:) I think the mystery duck might be a Cape Teal, (Anas capensis).

Thanks Bob : ) I was hoping you’d have the answer! Not at all sure about the Wigeon now though?

It looks a lot like a wigeon – did it have a tan/yellow bit on the front/top of its red head?
