[clive ward]

Hi I saw this today near Tower Bridge any ideas?

 

[KenM]

Is it the ''new hide'' destined for the London Wetland Centre?

 

[Brian2]

is it a remake of monty python

 

[Brian2]

no...i'm thinking of the goodies!

 

[StuartReeves]

I see they lifted the bridge so it didn't have to duck.

 

[Simon Wates]

Certainly more enthralling than some of the plastic ducks on here

 

[dantheman]

Normally I'd say Muscovy, but looks a little odd.

Maybe a Mallard/farm duck hybrid of some sort?

 

[bob the birder]

I think it's one of these. Common Bath Scoter

 

[pianoman]

And remember, size can be deceptive in the field.

Lift wanted/offered from Sussex to central London. Phone Gary

 

[David Norgate]

A new bird for most uk 400 club listers

So you'll be twitching it, like the Redpoll Mark!
Seems like a lot of people would be interested on that basis!

Agreed David. As did yourself. The best Artic roll I have ever seen as have you I suspects?

 

[David Norgate]

Presumably people would like to know its scientific name:
Anas major plasticus ssp bathtimeii
An obvious escape


PS ...but Mark I don't go on about the UK400 club like you do!
