We have seen young gadwall Ducks, and a pair of Geese that had young ones swimming out of our sight. |
It is one of the best places in the country to spot overwintering gadwall and teal, as well as goosander, tufted duck, pintail and wigeon. |
In addition we got some grey duck, gadwall, and a number of garganey and pochard. |
With their drab plumage, it is not unusual to mistake a gadwall for a hen mallard at a distance. |
A month later, however, we obtained nests both of this Pochard and of the gadwall, both built among rushes on dry ground. |
A loose raft of wigeon, gadwall and shoveler ducks dabbled in the open water, while diminutive teal bobbed like bath toys in the shallows. |
