Garganey on The Pond in Reykjavik, Iceland? (1 Viewer)

[Swampman]

I just wanted confirmation that these are Garganey; there is yellow in the bill. There was some rather odd looking ducks on The Pond possibly hybrids, I may post later.

Welcome to BirdForum. These are Gadwall rather than Garganey. Note the white speculum.

Gadwall. The "racing stripe" pattern on the bill is another good field mark (for females).

Thanks for correcting me.
