Pretty sure it’s not a baby robin, bigger than a mallard, head is dark grey.

Its a duck.

You’re welcome.

Platypus

That’s dinner in Peking. 😆

Mallard hybrid

Whatever it is, it’s laughing at you.

His name is Quentin. Quentin the duck.

Probably a cross with a farm duck breed, it doesn’t look like any native duck.

Looks like a mallard / Aylesbury cross breed. Very tasty. 😉

Looks a bit scary anyway

That, is a zombie duck

Where is Sarah???

As above, a mongrel mallard/summatelse hybrid. Mallard are randy buggers that’ll pretty much rape any female duck regardless of species. There was one chasing a female out onto the Bath Road by the river in Chippenham one afternoon, and it really wouldn’t take no for an answer, I was trying to drive it back onto the river to leave the female alone, and it was trying everything it could to get at her. She’d have run under a car trying to get away if I hadn’t driven the male away. The female ended up hiding in some bushes to escape the male.
Persistent little sod.

Yes, it’s a mallard cross. We’ve tried to rescue female mallards before now, it’s heart wrenching to see them being raped.

Where is Sarah???

Here

Ivy, Nettles, cowslip… its weed paradise

And youve left buck all alone mightymule? For shame!!! 😀

Commuting home along the canal once I saw a dead female mallard floating in the canal. A couple of males were nearby, one of whom was still showing an interest in trying to mate with her. Presumably she had drowned during mating. A gruesome scene.

Only on STW could a cuckoo take the moral high ground.

It’s a 650b Mallard.
Makes the duck pond come alive.

I saw a dead female mallard floating in the canal…………Presumably she had drowned during mating.

No, traditionally it’s raped, murdered, thrown into the canal.
