Two's Company, but Three's a Crowd (Mallard trio)
These three mallards - a male and two females - were keeping company by themselves, away from a larger group I glimpsed one morning on the Rogue River, at the Touvelle State recreation area, in Central Point, Oregon. I love the fact that they all seemed to be looking the same direction, albeit...- MiguelATF

Oddity
It was pretty quiet on patch that day, the only other picture I have for you is a Mallard which appears to have some domestic parentage, as he looks rather odd, don't you think. I can't remember seeing another like it up there either before or since (so far)! I did see a Little Grebe in the...- delia todd

Cruising
A male Mallard cruised past the hide. They really can look quite handsome in their summer colours, especially when the sun catches them right.- delia todd

Don't get too close!
I can't believe I've not shown you a Mallard from our Mause feeders before. There's nearly always some around as on the opposite side of the old road is a small pond area that gets filled up from overflow off the hill; presumably to stop it swamping the field beside it or running down the old...- delia todd

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

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
