This is Geraldine

Posted on December 19, 2020 by pensitivity101

I have called her that because I have only ever known one Geraldine in my life, and this little beauty is a one off.
If anyone knows what she is, I’d be grateful for your input. Hubby thinks she is a member of the teal family.

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! We have recently lost our beloved dog Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney, and now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of my GSD so had hers done too. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

    Looking at your photos is like one I have seen my way over the past year and yes a beautiful colour. Yours is paler in parts than one I spotted.
    I pointed it out last year, when I was with my conservation group and she told me it was a hybrid mallard. A bit of crossbreeding.

    I agree that it looks like a Buff Orpington which is a domestic duck from the UK. Probably got loose and is hanging out with the Mallards… https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/buff_ducks.html
