worthy130 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 The trouble is there are a few other female ducks that are grey that could have been mistaken the gadwall is very grey aswell im not saying you wrong it would be unusual thats all Why is it unusual? on my dads permission back in Cheshire we have quite a few mandarins nesting in some trees over the last few years, and it looks like numbers are starting to build nicely now. To be honest Bang 666 if you are not 100% sure then don't shoot them, its not worth the risk. ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
