| | | Duck identification help please
Hi all
I'm new here so go gentle with me, I'm also new to bird photography. Today i took a picture of what looked like a mallard but it had a brown tuft on it's head and a black and white front, I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this duck.
Thanks Tony |

Welcome to WAB Tony. 
Can you possibly post the picture you took to help us with the ID? |

Hi Tony and welcome to the WAB site, is it possible for you to upload a photo that you took. If you can I will guarantee someone (not me) will identify it for you.

I'm sorry I should have thought to do that in the first place.

Welcome to Wab Tony - that number seems familiar - we've spoken befoe! Looks like the duck has a touch of muscovy in it too!

Carl if you like photography and nature then we probably have spoken before, I seem to be in a number of forums but the welcome and quick responce means this is a forum I will be keeping an eye on.
I think the thing we have in common is maybe FZ20, Does that sound familiar.

I don't think Red-breasted Merganser has a black + white front, though there is a white ring around the neck. | |
