Why are common names so difficult?- Known as Yellow-billed Duck in Southern Africa. A common resident in South Africa. There have been attempts to eradicate Mallards to stop them inter-breeding with Yellow-bills

Cornwall - Yes, you read that right. This is a female bird with male characteristics, notably part of the head, breast and tail. Its wonky genes have produced an interesting new look. Apparently this bird has been seen in recent winters here.

A rather complex scene unfolded in front of me today. While trying to photograph a group of Green-winged Teals, slowly more species appeared. What I believe to be 4 species including Green-winged Teal (top and bottom, male female), Gadwall (2 in the centre), Shoveler (towards the bottom left) and American Widgeon (upper right, and middle left). I'm not sure whether the bird in the middle upper left with the orange beak is a Mallard. Seen at Tsawwassen, BC, Canada.

Ottawa - the bird is standing on ice. There is a small opening in a pond with a pile of Mallards and a pair of wigeon. Normally you can't get close to most ducks other than Mallards but when conditions force them into a tight area they may lose their inhibition.

98 photos of the mighty Mallard - but each one different. Low pass, "buzzing the tower" at Saint Lazare, Quebec.

Approaching 100 photos of the infamous Mallard, common yet a spectacular species all the same.
