Weekly competition from 
This week's theme is - WATERFOWL
The mallard or wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos)
Of course. As without these ducks familiar to us. They are everywhere! And even now, in winter, at -26 degrees, they remain to winter in the city. Recently I read the news, about 600 ducks left to winter. All because people feed them.
The Eurasian teal (Anas crecca), common teal, or Eurasian green-winged teal
This species of ducks is very similar to mallards, and young ones are generally indistinguishable. Pay attention to the stain. In these ducks it is green, and in mallards it is blue.
he Eurasian wigeon or European wigeon (Mareca penelope)
I always meet these ducks very far from the city, on a lake in a coniferous forest. There they often stop to rest when they fly away for the winter.
The common merganser (North American) or goosander (Eurasian) (Mergus merganser)
One day, walking along the river, I saw a whole family of these ducks. They rested in the sun on rocks in the middle of the river.
The northern shoveler (Spatula clypeata)
Another duck that looks like a mallard. But the differences are visible on the head. She has a wide beak.
Seagulls can also swim on water😄
