Hi,
I saw this duck today among a large group of Mallards in North Lincolnshire, but not sure what it is? Having googled, the closest I can see is maybe a Wood Duck. I'm not really a bird watcher but interested in all wildlife while out walking. So would be happy if anyone can advise me on what this is? There were a few other people looking, taking photos too and no one seemed really sure what it was. Its not a great photo, sorry.Can anyone help?
Many thanks,
Rich.
The green is throwing me too so wondering if the duck could be an eclipsed male wood duck (if you scroll down through pics on the link HERE) but hasten to add I'm not an expert.
I think the other ducks are female mallards except for the drake mallard at the top right. Our experts like Rob or Seymouraves will put you right with a more exact ID.
