Northern Shoveler
A return trip to Slimbridge in Gloucestershire in early March 2024.
Another image of one of the few male Northern Shovelers that I saw on the day flying in to land on the Tack Piece Lagoon.
The Northern Shoveler is my favourite Duck that we see in the UK.
The Northern Shoveler, or Shoveler, is a Dabbling Duck and is common in northern areas of Europe, Asia and North America.
The Shovelers bill has developed a comb like structure on its edges which acts like a sieve to filter out food from the water's surface.
