A Happy Couple
Towards the end of April, saw us back at Kinnordy. Rather dull light that day, but I thought it made a rather nice image with these Mallards.- delia todd

Mallard
Abundant and widespread across the northern hemisphere, this is a female with a newly hatched brood. Waterfowl chicks are precocial, covered with down feathers, eyes open and feeding themselves immediately after hatching. Most birds have altricial young, hatched blind, naked, totally helpless...- jmorlan

Mallard in snow
They don't seem to mind the cold or the snow. Ice, however, can be a mobility issue for them. I got a silly little video of Wigeons and Crows skidding about on the ice when it got even colder and the river froze.- Doc Duck

Rather monotone
The colour of the water didn't really strike me at the time, I just thought it was nice looking at the two Mallard swimming across the loch. End of November did seem rather early to be pairing up though LOL- delia todd

Mallard
A Mallard couple dabbling in a nearby river. That's not snow or ice near the shore, that's foam whipped up by the swiftly running water.- wonderview

I´am walking ...
The almost transparent dot, not a dust spot, at the tip of its beak, is called "nail". https://www.bird.bot/post/duck-bill#:~:text=The%20nail%20is%20a%20small%20bump%20on%20the,or%20shape%20that%20can%20help%20identify%20the%20duck. In adult males is it black. Females show a dark grey nail.- jbpixels

Having a wander
I made the long journey down to stay with my brother and his wife in South Wales (we were going to my nephew's wedding in Sussex as part of my trip). Anyway, close beside my brother's house is the Brecon Canal and I did a short walk along it one day. There was a family of Mallards who'd come...- delia todd

A male multi-tasking????
My friend and I spent an extended lunch break at my old patch "Up the Hill" on Sunday, quite a bit to be seen but this was a record shot taken through the windscreen of a couple of Mallards. It wasn't until I downloaded the pictures that I realised one was scratching his neck. A bit of...- delia todd

Forager
Early January, we decided to go on a long ignored Loch of the Lowes, seemed to stop going there since the start of Covid. Also my friend wanted to try a monocular due to his failing sight. He managed to test it out first, through the window at the feeding station. A Mallard came through...- delia todd
