Hi,
I would be grateful if somebody could please confirm that I am correct in thinking this is a Mallard drake in eclipse plumage rather than a juvenine.
see my photos on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/maggyn/
I think it probably is, Maggy. I don't think a juvenile male born this year would have developed adult plumage this early in the season.

Thanks Tony. I wasn't sure about that.
