Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)

And, of course, the ubiquitous Mallard. We've been counting them all winter and there have always been more male than females present. As they paired up for the season, they were clearly in twos (serial monogamy?)

Three fabulous images, Ann ... wonderful narrative ... superb work ... tfs ...
About Purple Heron nesting ... they usually prefer reed beds or low bushes close to a wetland ... unlike Grey Herons who choose higher locations in a tree, in India as well ...

That's a cracker that Ann... you've captured some very nice iridescence too.

Excellent work lass. Thanks for letting us see him.... too often these get overlooked as being too common to bother with.
