Stavross 13,713 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Is he sure they are wood ducks, they are rare, the mandarin looks similar and is more common, ether way as far as I know you can’t shoot wood ducks or mandarins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,784 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 There was one on my permission many years ago. I went back the next day to take a photo...but the fox had got to it first. Is it the one that Daffy Duck is based on or is that a similar one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sort of the same, males look colourful and the females look a bit like a mallard hen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 13,713 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 If they are wood ducks he wants to keep it quite or he will be swarmed with RSPB nut jobs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,784 Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 I've looked on Google and could only find people saying that Daffy Duck is a black duck but I'm sure I read somewhere (when I saw the Carolina wood duck) that he was based on one of them. Oh well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
