    Default Pintail Ducks- Anas acuta

    These beautiful ducks are slightly larger than the mallard with longer necks, pointed wings and tapering tails

    They are also on the Amber list

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Nice photo Beryl, they could easily be confused with Mallards at a glance, but they are very pretty ducks.

    Thanks you Babs & Rolf
    More easily confused with Wigeon . You really have to look for the strips on the sides of the necks This one has his neck retracted but they really do have long necks
