Northern Shoveler
A return trip to WWT Slimbridge in Gloucestershire in mid November 2024.
A Male Northern Shoveler preening in the early morning light 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.
