only kidding, it's our third Aythya hybrid of the season - hot on the heels of a presumed Ring-necked Duck x Tufted Duck and presumed Greater Scaup x Tufted Duck (plus a genuine Greater Scaup last month) here at Stoke Newington Reservoirs, I give you......
..... a drake presumed Common Pochard x Tufted Duck hybrid. Ok, so he may be a mongrel, but I like him.
And sifting through the flock multiple times on a daily basis is not only paying off, but is actually entertaining - ducks are awfully underrated.
