Common Mallard

Another trip to WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire at the end of January.

 

Weather was bright and sunny.

The Mallard is the most familiar of all the dabbling ducks.

 

The Mallard is a large and heavy-looking duck. It has a long body, and a long and broad bill. The female is mainly brown with an orange bill. Mallards breed in all parts of the UK in summer and winter, wherever there are suitable wetland habitats.
