Northern Shoveler

A trip to WWT Slimbridge mid October. Weather was sunny intervals.

 

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.
