See the lovely white 'window' on the wing? That's characteristic for Gadwall

They really are a smashing bird. I always like to get a really good look at these birds if they are around. I think the closer you look, the more beautiful they seem.

Thanks for the extra feedback. I'll look out for them in sunshine as well (if we see any!) | | |
