A lovely calm image you've taken of this duck Angela.

Could you do me a favour please and double-check the species... that bill looks rather too big for a Teal and think you may have a Shoveler there.

An excellent job you've done with this picture, many thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks Delia for the comment. Though I am not 100% sure, this green-winged duck seems to be a teal and not a shoveler. The reflection in the water may have given the illusion of a bigger bill.
