On a not so inspiring day, heavy grey clouds and a wisp of rain in the air we walked the river route around the Penshurst Estate. Voted the best walk in Kent it followed a path along the Eden Valley and through the Kentish High Weald. Shame about the weather but the scenery was rather lovely.

Common name: Mallard
Scientific name: Anas platyrhynchos
Family: Anatidae (Ducks, geese and swans)
Location: Fishing lakes, Golden Sands Holiday Park, Mablethorpe
Date: 3 May 2025
A large duck, generally common and familiar within its extensive range. Males are distinctive with iridescent green head, yellow bill, chestnut breast, and grey body. Females are mottled brown with orange and black splotches on the bill. Found anywhere with water, including city parks, backyard creeks, and various wetland habitats. Often in flocks, and frequently mixes with other duck species. In North America, females can be tricky to distinguish from American Black Duck, Mottled Duck, and Mexican Duck where ranges overlap. Those species are all darker-bodied than Mallard. A good view of the wing can be helpful, too: white wingbars on the leading and trailing edges of the blue wing patch are bolder on Mallard. Frequently hybridises with those species, which can be even more confusing. Any bird with extensive white in the tail or curled feathers above the tail has some Mallard genes.

At the start of this week, I went dog-walking around Clock Face Country Park in St Helens, Merseyside, and took the camera. For the next few days I'll post shots I took by category. Today, the small fishing lake.
