Mallard

Mallard - Dabbling ducks
The Mallard is a large and heavy looking duck. It is common and widespread and there is a chance of seeing it just about anywhere where there is suitable wetland habitat including in urban areas.

It breeds in all parts of the UK and can be found on large and small lakes, slow-flowing rivers, reservoirs, small pools and coastal marshes.

Mallards in the UK may be resident breeders or migrants and many of the birds that breed in Iceland and northern Europe spend the winter here. At this time, flocks can be found on large water bodies and the sea.
