Birley from England took this first set of images of
mallard ducks at Race Rocks with the remote camera
today. Over on Vancouver Island it is a very common duck
but has never been recorded out here before.

Pam
said in her e-mail "Not too exciting but never seen them
before at RR. A group of 6 Mallards in a rock pool
along the NE shore. Seemed to be one breeding male
and I believe the others were all female. Light very
poor but have enhanced the pics as best I could.".
