Hi everyone. At the bottom of my road there’s a drainage ditch which is home to mallard and moorhen at this time of year. However when I was walking the shop earlier I noticed this little thing perched on a sheet of discarded Heras fencing🤨 I want to say a juvenile of some sort?? But it wasn’t being attended to by the adult mallards. There were 2 others also in and around the reeds. One of them had markings on its rear of 2 thick white patches separated by a black centre “bar”
Anyone any ideas? Thanks🙂
