Ah, the White-breasted… wait a minute?
Who the devil is this? These large, distinctive ducks were spotted all over Copenhagen.
Took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at, later confirmed by our bird guide in Sweden. What do you think?

They are dressed in formal attire to attend the Codfish Ball. I sincerely hope you know this song. K & I will sing it on our next outing.

Coincidentally, I was looking at photos of duck hybrids today, and found this site with pictures of varieties of domestic mallards. I do believe yours is there! http://www.gobirding.eu/Photos/DomesticDucks.php

That is coincidental! Yes, indeed, this is some kind of Mallard spawn.
