#Shelduck

Some unexpected visitors to a local wetland reserve this week; six Ruddy Shelduck.
Native to Asia, these guys must have followed the wrong migration.
They are very beautiful birds, though.

Kiltonga Nature Reserve, Newtownards, Northern Ireland.

One of these is not like the others.

Four shelducks (Tadorna tadorna) and a little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) in flight.

Radjah Shelduck (Radjah radjah) resting on grass. The duck has distinctive plumage: a dark chocolate-brown head, neck, and upper chest contrasting with white flanks and wing coverts. Its bill is pale with a black patch, and the bird is laying down, nestled comfortably in vibrant green grass.
Shot at WWT Martin Mere near Burscough, UK.

Thought they had all left for the summer. Was a lovely surprise to see a few stragglers still to migrate

Our first spotting of the pintail ducks in amongst the shelducks and shovelers. Ducks are quickly becoming one of my favourites with all the variety they bring.

This is a #SleepySunday #Shelduck. Oh, and some #Peewit
#WeekendWaterbird #Peewit #Lapwing #Birding #BirdsSeenIn2024 #BirdsOfMastodon #Birdstodon #Duckstodon

A shelduck lying asleep on a spit of land, its white black and brown patterning contrasting brightly with the poorly lit scene. The land, the water around it, and some peewits that are standing about in the vicinity, all seem really dull.

Mixing it up this #TwoDuckTuesday with a #Shellduck and a #Shoveller - and why not?

Struggling to get your ducks in a row this #FourDuckFriday? Mine aren't just mismatched and out of line, two of them aren't even ducks!

#Shelduck #Avocet #DuckOfTheDay #Duck #Birding #BirdsSeenIn2024

All in poorly lit grey looking water - in the lower right, a nondescript small brown duck nibbling at the surface; in the centre, a shelduck with its head stretched out under water; behind it and to the left, overlapping, two avocets, the closer with its head also under water; the one behind it, largely hidden by its body, has its head up.

#TwoDuckTuesday reminds you that #EgyptianGeese are #NotAGoose, they are #Ducks; a sort of #Shelduck. They still get called a #Goose though: I think they should rebrand as #EgyptianDucks
