Hi everyone
I visited Coombe Hill Nature Reserve just outside Cheltenham Gloucestershire yesterday and took these photos.I cant for the life of me make out what duck or goose it is. Could it be just a hybrid Mallard of some kind or could it be something else.Any ideas.
Regards....Andy

It's a domestic/hybrid,almost certainly mallard, but with something a bit odd about it. (Or maybe it's just me feeling odd after too much wine today - hic)

hmm ... occupational hazard of the artist using his dining room table as a studio. Duck looks a bit like one of those Swedish blue things - domestic anyway

Yeah, a "Blue Swedish"-type. I've a similar photo on a page of "manky mallards" on my blog at http://www.charliesbirdblog.com/~charlie/mankymallards/mankymallards.html

Cheers
