Wild About The City is struggling with computer problems and is unable to do frequent site updates. ARGGGHHH!
While I am working to straighten out the digital mess I have found myself in, I will try to at least post a couple of pictures that don’t require much in the way of computer labour…Tonight, I thought I just better post SOMETHING! So here’s a recent picture I took of a male gadwall, (Anas strepera) just being his gorgeous gadwall self in the inner bay at Ashbridge’s.
You can see both from the general shape of his body, bill and feet that he is a close relative — a cousin, really — of our very common mallard ducks, (Anas platyrhynchos).
Isn’t he lovely?
