Mallard Duck Chick


 There appears to be two families of Mallard Ducks now at Ferrymoor Flash. These chicks look so cute especially when they have droplets of water clinging to their fluffy down. It is quite amazing the colouring of them is so much different to the adult birds. All of that spectacular colour is still to come. The male bird always looks so bright and colouful.
