Hybrid again! (1 Viewer)

I expect we will be seeing more and more of the so called "yuck duck". One yesterday and another to-day in a different place with a large duckling.

The one on the right looks like a mallard-nike cross to me.

I'm impressed you can ID a Nike trainer upside down! top stuff ...

ad bird looks like a Mallard x Mallard domest x Eider x Canvasback and with a little bit of Magpie

It's amazing how often these hybrids end up looking like they're part eider, when I'm sure most of them haven't got a drop of eider in them...

"yuck duck" for sure! Only Mallard genes (domestic and wild) in those ,nothing else...
