| | | Which Duck?
Me again  Could anyone help with this duck ID please. It was taken at Martin Mere in Oct. I guess it`s a female as it`s drab, but which one I don`t know. The chart I`ve got from there just gives males  It was on the "wild" lake, not part of the collection.
Thanks for looking

Hi Lance, thanks for that. Don`t you just wish Mallards would keep themselves to themselves

It looks like a mallard, probably crossed somewhere with a khaki campbell. Domestic colourations, and different sizes and shapes are often found in mallard crosses in the wild. Animartco |

Animartco | They do really - its just that humans have seen fit to breed them into all sorts of non-natural colours and shapes and as a species they tend to be a bit randy - seeing a poor female mallard after being nearly drowned by two males in a row ..............................  | | |
