Spotted this on my local 'tame birds' lake, can't think what it might be apart from female Pochard, anyone got any ideas? 
Cheers

Thanks Shenk1
I was considering hybrids as the neck seems long for a Pochard, and there was no male present, in fact this was the only bird like this on the lake.

A straight forward female Pochard + not a hybrid. Ducks sometimes extend their necks like this when they are wary + possibly preparing for flight. She seems to be swimming away from you looking back, so possibly wary of you with your camera! | | |
