To most people the drake Gadwall is just a plain grey duck with a black rump but on closer inspection in breeding plumage it is a creature of real beauty with amazing feather patterning!
As you've proved, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

"A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there � even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity." ~ Robert Doisneau
I am quite surprised by the massive number of Ducks and Geese about it may have something to do with "getting into birds in 2011"
But they are of quite amazing plumage - kots of colours and patterns emerge. Thanks for the id - if this was a "blog" I would sign up for the Bird id next project is bird sounds listening

The RSPB do two books on this, both with Audio CD's to listen to at your leisure.
The picture tells the story, great when you have a bad memory.DW.
I like ducks. I really do. Tey are amazing creatures and well worth studying, even just for the amusement factor. Pity that the females are so drab but when you look closer the feather detail and tones are magnificent. I certainly think you've done this lady proud.
