Hello Birdlovers,
Bird seen in UK >
Last glorious Thursday (what a sunny treat after the last month!) I visited the Cleveland Lakes Nature Reserve (Cotswlolds Water Park) where I took photos of the ducks (attached).
At first they reminded me of some kind of Pochard (not that I'm up on ducks), but subsequent research has come up with nothing.
It's small size can be seen on the image of the Swan (the same male duck is behind the swan).
It'll probably turn out to be some common duck that I should have recognised, but then I cannot find it in my UK/Europe book of birds nor on the internet.
Any help in identifying the duck would be greatly appreciated.
