Hi Placi, first time I have seen two little egrets there. Have only seen one most times. But I did not know what kind of ducks were in the video.

The shag looked as though he was contemplating going in the car wash (close up of reflections​ in the water)

Some mallard ducks in view at first, I think ... great video - so much to see

I thought the shag was a cormorant, it looked so big.
Concur with opening mallards, of various imaginative hues. Lost after that ...... .

The ducks that didn't conform to the traditional colour scheme are cross breeds. The male Mallard is remarkably unfussy in regard of female liaisons and a many of the domestic breeds have Mallards in their ancestry there is no problem other than dodgy colour schemes.

That's interesting, Jacksparrow, about the profligate male mallard because, I think, the best duck for sale in Sainsco is the Gressingham, which is a cross between the mallard and the bigger Pekin duck.
Very tasty .......

Shorty from today.

Splendid Willpar He looked magnificent.

Was he on border patrol?

Chap across the village feeds this one. Sounds rather contented.

Splendid Willpar I was unaware they made those clucking noises.
