Mallard
The male is instantly recognisable but the female is a dull speckly brown, like many ducks.
Many farmyard ducks are descended from Mallards.
The Mallard is a large duck, with a fairly large bill but please note the purple speculum – the shiny patch on the wing.
Mallard’s are powerful strong flyers and also what we call a dabbling duck – a duck which feeds by dipping their beak beneath the surface.
Eats seeds, acorns, plants, berries, insects, and shellfish.
