Hi , This duck was with the Whooper Swans and other "wild" birds on Martin Mere and I didn't immediately recognise it . Can anyone help ?

It's a female Wood Duck.

Someone will be along shortly to make a case for it being a wild bird.

Probably.

In Europe, a Wood Duck will most likely be domesticated.
