The ducks at this reserve often take a walk by the car park. Mallards don’t mind people which makes for some nice photo opportunities.

That drake looks like he might be going through the beginnings of a molt. It’s after the breeding season so the timing would be right. By the late fall/early winter, he should be in fine plumage.

It was molting, the first I’ve seen. He should be in fine form before too long.

Nice to see them looking healthy, though Mr. seems to be molting already. She looks like she’s hoping you brought her some corn. 🙂

They are so cute! Such a cute couple, Belinda. You are in Canada if I recall correctly, I’ve never heard a Canadian use the term Car Park, so British!
