Sadly the Ruddy Duck has interbred with the White-headed Duck and, as I understand it, there are few pure White-headed Ducks left in Spain (mainly in closely guarded colonies). If it ever was exterminated in Britain, it has come back, and is regularly sighted in The Midlands.<br /><br />With my best wishes - - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143115362650239550.post-90597409328130122192017-08-14T13:41:06.521+01:002017-08-14T13:41:06.521+01:00Beautiful duck!
