During the early days of February I recorded a pair of [Northern] Shoveler (Anas clypeata) on the Great Pond at Epsom Common but failed to get any shots as they were always very wary and tended to hide in the waterside vegetation. However a recent visit to Farlington Marshes provided the opportunity to get a couple of images to share of both sexes in their breeding plumage.
Linking to Wild Bird Wednesday.
