Mallard Family @ WWT Barnes London by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Mallards are dabbling ducks, meaning they feed mainly on water plants at the surface, which they get by upending in shallow water. Other dabbling duck species include the gadwall, teal and wigeon.. Our most common duck, the mallard, is a distinctive and well-loved character on our waterways and ponds.

Mallard Ducklings @ WWT London by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Ducklings are small, brown and fluffy with yellow faces and undersides. They have a distinctive brown stripe through their eye. Young mallards are cared for by their mother only and feed independently. You might see a flock of ducklings loyally following their mother on our canals in the spring and early summer.
