Hybrids


Strange looking beasts, aren't they!  They have been at Blunham Lake for a couple of years now but can often be hard to pick out of the Wigeon flock.  I think they could be hybrid Wigeon x Gadwall.  Any other opinions on their identification welcome.

  2. The interesting thing is that at least one of these birds is already ringed, Errol. I have let Arnold know about them but were unknown to him. I wonder if they have been mis-id'd in the hand?
