Your day's wildlife

Probably. But considering how much more damage humans do, any idea how to control them?

Personally, I would like to see them subject to the same control as dogs and for their owners to be under the same obligations with regard to their pet as dog owners.

Love these, this one was particularly brave and stayed right there while I took it's picture, I like the 'ordinary' duck looking over in the background too 🤭

A very pretty pair, thank you for posting. The female looks malardish but not the male, so what, I wonder?

They are mandarins, very colourful males and not so females.

Quire rare it seems with about 7,000 feral population in the UK - having escaped from a collection. Doesn't appear to be having a negative affect on native birds - Wiki.
