A Rare Duck (taken in the wild) ................
The Marbled Duck (also known as Marbled Teal) are rare ducks in the wild, and only local to S. Spain, Morocco and Turkey and they can also be found in Iran. Any found elsewhere are thought to be escapees from collections. The Marbled Duck is a pale, mottled grey-brown bird with a distinctive mask running into a slight tuft on the nape (which can be quite clearly seen on this image). Taken wild and free in Southern Spain.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my image.
