| | | A Duck? What Kind?
 I came across this duck in Canary Wharf and it kept following me as it thought I had food. Can someone tell me if its some kind of cross bred duck or if its a pure distinct species.  |

Hi pagnange
That's a Muscovy Duck. Originally from South America, a commonly domesticated species that often escapes, and extremely variable in plumage.

Hi,
With a full wattle [ if thats the right word for it going all the way round it's beak and head] they're the most ugly ducklings I've ever seen.

I'd say a muscovy hybrid.
