There are quite a few of these around at the moment .....


A handsome duck the Drake Shoveler.

 With a specialist serrated bill designed for filter feeding surface water these ducks also spend a lot of time up-ending.

 With a pair seemingly defending a territory on the reserve at the moment lets see how things develop, it would be nice in due course to be able to post an image of a Shoveler family.

    Thinking about it I've never seen a juvenile Shoveller
