A female mallard, Scylla?

Wow!  That seems like a brilliant answer to me - I know I've seen this bird before (online, of course) but can't place it, but now you've said that - I believe you

I did have a little help from 'Google'! lol

What about E15, then?!  I'm subscribed to Lady Hawk so can keep abreast in a superficial way.  I covered a lot of last season for SWFL and, even more intensely, NEFL, but this season = No !!!  I never recovered in time for our Ospreys.  (I may be repeating myself but still haven't got over it.)

I hope that H&M don't need to get aggressive to claim their space ;)

Two's company, three's a crowd.

It's starting all over down in Dunedin!
