Hi There
I dug out some of my older pictures of the local wildfowl around my area. These are pictures taken at the River great Ouse and Bedford Pond {Bedford Park}
A Mallard with a bit of a white rear end
A white Pigeon along with a white Duck
The same white dusk as the picture above
The same white duck - not shy at all.
Now this is one I am not sure about - a bit of Pochard in there maybe?
Regards
Kathy and Dave
I think the last one just looks like a female red-crested pochard to be honest, not a hybrid...

Hi there, the mallard is probably the offspring of the white campbell duck and a male mallard.
the white duck is a white campbell and the bottom pic is - as Kathy and Dave have pointed out, a female pochard.
Thank you Kat {big smile}
Funnily looking at the picture it is a Female Red throated Pochard.
I have not seen the male bird if there is one.
I have seen this particular 'Pochard' in Bedford Park for quite a while now.
She is a regular bird.
Must check and see if the same bird is there sometime soon
Hi Duckwoman
Thank you for your answer.
I have noticed that the white duck shown in the picture of the river Great Ouse is a lot smaller in stature than the male Mallard. This particular duck is always with a male Mallard so it is a 'recipe' for Heinz 57 Varities going on there.
The female Mallard with a white rear and a light plumage..... as you say... there is something 'White Campbell going there.
I have not heard of a White Campbell Duck before so it must be a well known domestic duck.
