Wonderful photos, Dave and Julie! My son and his girlfriend took us to Pensthorpe on Sunday. It's such a beautiful place, isn't it? Ducks are some of my favourite birds, and mergansers and smews are some of my favourite ducks, so I was very happy there - everybody else had to keep waiting for me to catch up! |

Many thanks Sarah. We love the place and there is so much going on there at pretty much any time of the year. |

They are a European mainland bird in general Mick but an occasional visitor to our shores. Chew Valley lake had one resident for quite some time. I do like the alternative name as well...bird watchers call them Fudge Ducks! |
