Gadwall

Towards the end of March I made another trip to Slimbridge, Gloucestershire.

 

Another image of one of 3 Gadwall Ducks seen on the Tack Piece Lagoon.

 

The Gadwall is a very grey-coloured dabbling duck, a little smaller than the Mallard, and with an obvious black rear end. It shows a white wing patch in flight. When seen close up the grey/brown colour is made up of exquisitely fine barring and speckling.
