I'm pretty confident the first photo is a redwing, and I'd like to know whether or not I'm looking at a female. How do I tell the difference ( I can't see a great deal of difference looking at pictures on line)?
In terms of the ducks, these were taken in County Durham on a small pond where I went to pick up some wreaths. These clearly aren't your average coloured ducks 'round these parts so I've no idea how they made it to the pond nor what the owner of the garden centre has been importing or breeding. Is one of the birds in the picture a female widgeon?
Thanks in advance.
