A mallard duck is shown swimming on a body of water. The duck's head is a glossy, iridescent green, transitioning to a black neck. Its beak is bright yellow. The duck's body features tan feathers and a reddish-brown patch on the upper breast. The water is a deep blue, with sunlight creating wavy, rippling patterns across the surface. The background is partially out of focus, showing a green, algae-like substance floating under the water surface, creating a textured appearance behind the duck.

The #MondayMallard is feeling weary and wants to know if there is even a point. Or maybe thatโ€™s me projecting.

A curious looking brown mallard duck, young and probably female but maybe a drake just not in breeding plumage yet, standing or swimming upstream on the upper edge of a weir that enabled me to try to make a bad joke/pun. The photo was taken in summer - it is reasonably bright and it looks warm.

The image features two Mallard ducks wading in a body of water. The duck on the left is a male, standing upright with it's distinctive chestnut breast, grey flanks, and a glossy green head with a yellow bill. The duck on the right is a female, with predominantly mottled brown plumage. Both ducks have orange-colored feet and stand in shallow water amidst aquatic vegetation. The water reflects the surrounding green trees and foliage which creates a blurred pattern of light and dark greens across the water's surface. The overall ambience of the scene is natural.

A medium shot of a male mallard duck swimming in calm, green-tinted water. The duck has a black head with a subtle iridescent green sheen, a bright yellow beak with a small black tip, and a reddish-brown chest. Its gray and brown feathers are neatly arranged along its back and sides. The water reflects the duck and surrounding light, giving it a soft, diffused quality. The water has a slight ripple, indicating minimal movement. The background is blurred, emphasizing the duck as the primary subject.The image shows a male mallard duck swimming on the surface of green-tinted water. The duck is captured in profile, moving from left to right. Its head has a distinctive iridescent green color, contrasting with its black eye. The duck's beak is bright yellow, which is prominently visible. The body plumage features a mix of brown, grey, and white feathers. A small curly black feather is visible on its tail area. The water around the duck is a murky green color. The ripples on the water, and the position of the duck give a sense of motion.

The image shows a pair of mallard ducks standing in green grass near the edge of a body of water. The male duck is taller, with a distinctive iridescent green head, a white neck ring, and grey and brown body plumage. His beak is yellow, and his feet are orange. The female duck, positioned slightly in front and to the left of the male, has mottled brown plumage that provides excellent camouflage. The green grass is thick and vibrant, contrasting with the blue water in the background. The water surface is somewhat textured, suggesting the presence of algae or other aquatic vegetation. The overall scene is natural and tranquil.

#MallardMonday, and Merlin identifies these all as Mallards, even the white ones, which my daughter is certain are "Jemima Puddleduck" ducks? Hybrids of some sort? What's the story with the white mallards? #Birds ๐Ÿชถ #Photography #EastCoastKin

A group of ducks, all identified as Mallards with Merlin, some are white with orange bills and legs, the others, mostly with heads dipped in this shot, are the normal brown colours for male and female Mallards.  In a fast flowing stream, large rock to the back left.
