This one is a captive. I gave up try distiguish between captive and the wilds that mix in with them in these situations. Bit lazy I know.

I was mainly curious to know if you have been there. I’ve looked into some birding trips down there, and I’m fascinated by the number of southern hemisphere cousins of northern birds. If you took that shot in the UK it was either an escapee or you were shoulder to shoulder with several dozen other birders.

The original POTN thread had the text. '"It used to be an "unwritten" rule that everyone on POTN had to post a photo of a duck" - SJC from VT"'
Here are some starters.

Great white control. I think it was also considered obligatory with a new camera or lens to post a photo of a duck.
