My mate Andy, who claims to be a professional in the field, had a look and says: "Its a farmyard hybrid - probably Mallard x Muscovy Duck!"

Thanks Al for asking your friend and since he's a professional we'll take his word for it. There are farms nearby but I don't know if they have ducks. A hybrid seems to be the general consensus. Interesting markings however.

I was starting to think along those lines especially looking at the beaks. Mallards do seem to produce some very photogenic "mongrels". Ah well, so I didn't get a first.

Thanks

I'm very happy with my Pentax 55-300, it's the lens I sue most of the time. The shots in other posting are taken with it.

Hope that's useful.

Thanks Gareth and Cliff. I'll keep searching. There were several mallards on the same pool so as you say, Cliff, perhaps they're a cross. Can you have mongrel ducks?

Thanks

Can any of you kind folk tell me what these are? I thought they were a male and female smew, but I'm not sure. If not, what are they?
