    Default Scaup- Aythya marila

    I couldn't resist this cute little duck. I wanted to take her home and keep her in my bath. I don't think she would have like that so left her to the canal

    Only a handful breed in the UK every year, making them our rarest breeding duck. They are also Amber listed

    Really like this one Beryl and one you won't see every day. As always (?) the drake is pretty smart but without the white blaze at the base of the bill

    Lovely wee duck, Beryl!

    Sad she was on her own though!
