Nice one, never even heard of one.

It's a cracking duck SM. Saw my 1st one in the wild only a few weeks ago, never got as close to it as you did though!

I have only seen one in the wild, some years back though... This is a Slimbridge collection bird.

Thanks Linda Way better to see them in the wild but still a great bird.

White-faced Whistling-Duck (Dendrocygna viduata)

That's a name like PB would make up

Say what you see, Linda, say what you see

Not sure if I've seen one in the wild, don't remember details if I have, but seen probably that very bird at Slimbridge too, Snappy
