Hi!
I recently went on a hike near Gargrave, UK - near the Yorkshire Dales and came across these birds and I can't figure out what they are. I figured a type of duck either domesticated or hybrid but not too sure.
There were 5 of them, seemingly one larger adult and 4 old juveniles - but hard to tell. They were over 30 cm in height and over 75 cm in length - definitely a fair bit larger than a mallard. I saw them in a small river/stream.
I hope you can help!
