#shovelers

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.

#TodaysWalk today was retrospectively cancelled for reasons of feet and ennui.

So here's a blurry picture of three #Shovelers I found earlier in the week - along with two Tufted Ducks, a Black-Headed Gull and a bored pair of Moorhens.

A matching pair of Shoveler ducks, stand on a frozen lake (and their own reflections). The male has a large dark bill, a golden eye, a green head, white chest, brown flanks, black tail-feathers and wings of grey with flashes of green. The female has a large orange bill, a dark eye and mottled brown plumage. Both have orange legs.
Above them flies a male in eclipse plumage, with a brown head and wings, its tail fanned to reveal white feathers either side of the black ones.
