Re: Do Mallards eat fish????

Hello to all and thanks for your replies.
I wish that my other computer was working so that I could up-load the photo. The fish that this mallard was 'playing' with and attempting to down was quite a biggish fish. Unfortunately I am not a fisherman so I couldn't say whether it was a stickleback or a trout but my guess is that it was about 3" or a little longer.
The observation that malllards seem to indulge in 'fishy' products at this time of year is interesting - perhaps there is a need for vitamins or some other nourishment that they do not get from their usual diet.
Thanks again for all your comments and I shall hopefully be able to post the photo(s) by Wednesday (technician arriving tomorrow with new parts).
Peano
