Gadwall
The last day of April 2025 and another trip to WWT Slimbridge in Gloucestershire.
A Gadwall flying over the outer fields at Slimbridge.
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.
