MALLARD // ANAS PLATYRHHYNCHOS (50-60cm)

SHAME ON ME !!! My first ever Mallard image on Flickr !

BY FAR THE MOST WIDESPREAD and familiar duck in the region, there can be few water bodies of any size that do not have their quota of residents. In winter the numbers almost doubles thanks to an influx of birds from northern Europe. See at Stodmarsh N.R Kent.
