An elegant grey gadwall swimming along on shiny water that clearly reflects its head, which is turned to face back the way it came from.

🐥 The gadwall is closely related to the mallard. It was once a rare winter visitor, but is now a common breeding bird in the Netherlands ——- De krakeend is nauw verwant aan de wilde eend. Het was eerst een zeldzame wintergast, nu een veel voorkomende broedvogel in Nederland 🐤

Couple de canards chipeau de trois-quart dos, tournés vers la gauche. La femelle est en train de secouer ses ailes, le torse bombé et les ailes vers l’arrière. Ils sont entourés d’eau d’un joli coloris bleu pastel, striée de quelques vaguelettes.

Here’s a #Gadwall photographed at #WWTWelney a while ago.

Un plan d’eau calme ponctué de roseaux dorés. Un couple de canards chipeau s’est abrité derrière des roseaux penchés, la femelle est en train de crier en direction d’une foulque macroule qui ne semble pas impressionnée par cette démonstration de force et continue son chemin.

Honk like an Egyptian!?

Some Nile geese call #DeSchammer their home too. First time I got a decent picture of them and some bonus gadwalls on the boardwalk.

Schnatterenten verhalten sich „kleptoparasitisch“, d.h. sie schauen, wo ein Blässhuhn oder ein Höckerschwan mit Wasserpflanzen im Schnabel auftaucht und schnappen sich etwas davon. Da sie, ohne Anlauf zu nehmen, schnell auffliegen können, machen sich die Blässhühner und Schwäne nicht den Aufwand, die Enten zu vertreiben.

The #WednesdayWaterbird is a #Gadwall, so that makes it the #DuckOfTheDay.

She’s etiher thinking about how pretty she is, or plotting nefarious deeds, and I know which my money is on.

Gadwall (Mareca strepera) at Abbott Marshland

Sunday 12 January 2025 I spotted this pair of Gadwall ducks (Mareca strepera) gliding through the icy water, unfazed by the cold. The male, with his subtle grey plumage and black bill, swam alongside the mottled brown female, both moving effortlessly between frozen patches of and open water. They weren’t in a hurry—just drifting, occasionally dipping their heads beneath the surface in search of food. Gadwalls aren’t flashy like Wood Ducks or Mallards, but I found their understated […]
