The first one is a hybrid mallard known as "Duclair Duck". The other two are regular male mallards.

Shot with Z7II and NIKKOR 500mm F5.6E.

Thanks I'm enjoying them a lot. There's so much to learn on the body itself which has been fun, and sometimes confusing. Lots of experimenting and entirely new worlds have been opened to me.

Thanks Here around the city, their colour can range from green to a green with a purplish strip-type marking down the middle of their head. I've seen some that look more purplish all around than green, too. I'm not sure if it's a seasonal thing (when they get brighter during mating season) or a genetic/hybrid thing.

It's been a strange year. I was kind of forced into a hiatus for most of it and am glad I've been able to get back out and into the groove again.
