    Thanks for that Stephen. I didn't notice the colours until I saw it on the PC. 100% Mallard and could be crossed with a Hardhead or Pekin.

    good work on this one. amazing colours
    has the curled tail feathers of a mallard.
    green head like that of a mallard drake on steroids, but lacking the white neck ring.
    seems mallard bill also.
    wonder what is crossed with?

    These are a hybrid Ralph. I'm sure they have the Mallard in them because of the green sheen but not sure what the other breed is.
    Here's a photo of the pair which have been at this #2 lake for years.

    I'm as pleased as you Phil, I've never seen this duck display its feathers like this and I've seen them around for years. They even go for walks up the street to visit the neighbourhood and are part of our community.
