Hi
Can everyone help me with this duck, it's the one standing a little alone straight behind the male mallard in one photo and flapping it's wings in the other.
As shown in the pictures the duck is smaller than mallard, the bill is black and yellow not orange as in mallard, the leg colour is also a little different from mallard, the speculum is blackish not blue, the breast is more finely spotted than mallard, and there is no markings in the head as in female mallard.
It was photographed at Möruddens Camping at Hammarö just south of the swedish town Karlstad.
Any ideas?
Best regards
