I'm still very new to all this soo apologise if I'm wrong, but I wondered if B could be a juvenile tufted duck? It all looks the right proportions/size and all the correct colours apart from the head/neck which is black/dark blue when I have seen adults.
Just a thought - would be interested to know what anyone with more knowledge thinks:-D |

B is a species of merganser. Hooded perhaps. |

I think B is a bufflehead - Bucephala albeola
C might be a domestic duck....
hmmmmm
D is a Mandarin
F has a build similar to an Austrlian shelduck but the colours are wrong ... off to check out pictures of juvenille Australian shelduck or males in eclipse - maybe a paradise shelduck Tadorna variegata a female or juvenille in moult

My offerings:
A,G & E; juveniles as per dogghound
B; Bufflehead (a North American sea duck)
C; domestic-type Mallard.
D; female Mandarin.
F; not sure, possibly Gadwall drake.

Bufflehead thats a new one for me. I take it these are domestic birds? do we ever get rare migrants here? |
