cheers
Ali

Live in Paris, but took this at new year when I was over visiting my wife's family in the north of england about 20 miles from Newcastle. They were big ducks but that is about the limit of my species knowledge.

Welcome to the forum and a beautiful photo of an interesting duck. Kind-a looks as if he got punched in the beak one too many times. ;)


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
