Wildfowl photographed at the Dingle Nature Reserve in Anglesea, Wales in Oct 2007. Any help identifying the two flanking the Mallard would be appreciated! Thanks. |

| | | Re: ID Ducks Hi
They're one of the many forms of mallard produced by thousands of years of domestication and selective breeding; they frequently escape captivity and can turn up anywhere. More info here: “Manky Mallards” (domestic, feral, or just plain odd Mallards)
