magnetandsteel Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Cheers all quick look on google and I think they were male pochard, whiter than wigeon from the photos. Will bring the camera next week and get photo. Cheers Dai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Wigeon are quite a bit smaller than a Mallard so yes you are probably right. If the bronze is quite pronounced then they will be Pochard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
