    Domesticated Duck

    Thx Richard, it´s quite interesting to come across birds like this in the wild, even if they are of domestic origin. I can clearly see the Mallard rear end. Thx again for the clarification.

    I saw these on the river today in Madrid and I presume it is some kind of domesticated escape!! Could it be a Khaki Campbell?? Thx in advance...
