a hybrid, perhaps?

Thanks, Robbie. :) :)

Hi PLG, I have looked through pages of duck images but still come back to the Mallard. I think the sun reflection has an effect on the beak and the white ring around the neck is not pronounced. Actually I think oddio got it right! Thanks.

Thanks, Oddio. Appreciate the help! :)

It's a duck, PLG.
;>o

Thak you, Laura. And welcome home! We missed you!

A handsome little fella. Thanks, PLG!

Hi Pat. Yes, I tried it for a couple of puzzles, but went back to the old format. I should try again and stick it out longer -- I may learn to like it. How about you? Do you like it?

Hi Patti have you tried the new format out yet??

Roseheather -- Ha ha! Thanks!

Islandflyer -- that would be cool! Thanks!

Maybe you've discovered a new species. Nice photo, Patti.

With a lithium battery? ; ) LOL

Thank you, Shirley! :)

Cute duck, know matter who his mum and dad where, Thanks Patti.

Thanks, Jacques. :)

HI Suzy-- Sort of yellow-green, isn't it? Kind of like the black duck's bill.

A green beak?

he is posting special for you patti, great picture!

Interesting, Ank. Thanks. :)

Or maybe he just came from NL. For me it's a normal Dutch duck.

I thought so too, Chickie. (And maybe some American black duck? There are a lot of those around here too.)

Sure looks like a mix-up to me! Has to have some mallard it it.
