| | | Unknown duck??
Hi all, Hoping somebody can help me really. Spotted this duck land on the lake today whilst fishing, it only stayed for a few minutes before leaving. Took some pictures on full zoom with the duck over 100yrds away so they aren't the best. It looked around the same size as the Tufties  Initially I thought it was a mandarin, but now it doesn't look like that  
Can anybody help?
Thanks
John |
