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! In November 2020, we lost our beloved 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. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. 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
