This male mallard was really digging into the mud! Maybe it was having a spa day, and the mud helps keep their green head colorful and iridescent!

Mud is a big part of their diet as they have plant material and small organisms like worms and snails.

April 8th.

It seems like word has gotten out that our property is a great spot for wildlife to camp out. We've already had several visitors—deer, wild boar, foxes—and now mallard ducks have joined in.

The mallard in the picture, along with her mate (not pictured), spent the night here and left shortly after sunrise.

#Duck #Mallard #Sunrise

The image depicts a serene scene of a mallard sitting in tall grass, set against the backdrop of a vibrant sunrise. In the foreground, the mallard is prominently featured, its silhouette visible as it stands amidst the lush greenery. The surrounding environment is characterized by long blades of grass that stretch towards the horizon, creating a sense of depth and texture. A few bare branches are also visible in the top-right corner of the image. The background of the image is dominated by the warm hues of the sunrise, with shades of orange and pink blending together.

Good morning, here is your #MondayMorningMallard as photographed on Friday’s walk

A female mallard swimming on the River Flit. She is brown and flecked, but a little glossy and looks in good health.

Was hat es mit Stockenten auf sich, die z.B. überwiegend schwarz sind und eine weiße Vorderbrust haben? Es handelt sich hierbei um Mischlinge, d.h. sie sind Kreuzungen aus Hausenten und “wilden” Enten. Solche Enten können in Stadtparks beobachtet werden. In der Paarungszeit bleiben sie meistens als Single übrig.

More #badBirdPhotography from this afternoon. Two pairs, one of Canada Geese and the other Mallards, who appeared to have struck up a friendship.

Two Canada Geese and male and female mallard ducks, all swimming left to right on lightly rippled water.

Following on from yesterday’s post: After breakfast, the female did the catwalk thing to pose for me.
Bear in mind that they are perfectly wild ducks, though. They just feel relaxed with me and safe in our garden.
