Northern Shoveler
Early September 2024 and my first trip to WWT Slimbridge for the Autumn/Winter season.
Was not expecting too much, but ended the day having had a good day.
The Northern Shoveler is my favourite duck to photograph of all the ducks seen wild 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.
The Northern Shoveler population has increased over the few years due to favourable habitat and breeding conditions.
