when you said "duck", i thought you were playing cricket. i see lots of ducks, but i am bad at identifying them as they are usually with black swans, which i monitor, for pleasure
Another fascinating video Liam. This brought to mind my visit to York University back in the 1980s, where I saw more wildfowl species than I've ever seen in my life before or since, around their on-campus lake, including every species of duck and goose I knew of and a good few that I didn't. Most spectacular looking of those were the Mandarin ducks, but my favourites were the Greylag geese which used to follow people around in groups hoping they would get fed 😁

Hello Liam , great show I used to live next to a little Bird Sanctuary. We had all sorts there Mallards , Moorhens , Tuffted Ducks Coot's and Canada Geese and even a couple of Swans, it was such a beautiful place. Great video, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE QUAKER'S TO MISS IT . Have a wonderful weekend, PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
Excellent video - enjoyed the facts about the eider, the males are so beautiful - but the shoveler is still my favourite. And yes, a video on the rarer ducks would be wonderful if you could do one!
Great! Certainly a video on the rarer species would be nice. I have often noticed how temperamental Egyptian geese can be, they can start with each other, other birds and even people, for no apparent reason.. I like the Frankie Howerd style call you get from the eider duck.. Hoping being a dad's going well for you, nice one Liam! 🌟👍
Lol. I suspect there are now more Egyptian geese in the UK than Mandarins, but I didn't deliberately exclude them. I made this video based on the ducks I see regularly, which mandarins are not.
@AShotOfWildlife I don't live in East Anglia so I see them fairly often in comparison to Garganey and especially Eider. I've seen more Red-Crested Pochard (at RSPB Rye Meads) than either of those you included. Anyhow, BTO has recorded a 123% increase in range size for Mandarins, so they might start showing themselves in your part of the world soon, too. Top tip: come to London and head for the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park.
Finally, someone put those ducks in a row... Thanks, mate!😊
Yes, a video about the rarer ducks would be great! Especially focusing on the rarer winter visitors as well!
Great video...beautiful Ducks....some of them I hadent heard off ....
Brilliant 👌🏻🥰

I'd love you to cover the rarer species. I found this video extremely interesting and learnt lots.
i see goosander alot in wales why is it not on here
I'll include them in part 2. I made this based on the ducks that I see regularly and gooseander (sadly) don't feature on that list.
@@AShotOfWildlife oh ok thank u for replying
Lovely video, thank you. One on the other breeds? Well, you’d be quackers not to! Lol 😊❤🇬🇧

I'm obviously a mallard fan but lovely to see those other species.

Ducks always vary from very very easy to ID through to extremely difficult!
Here's a tip if you like duck watching, get up at the quack of dawn.
Another great video Liam, Yes a video on the rarer ducks in the uk would be great,looking forward to watching it.Well Done😃

Two Uk ducks I’d absolutely love to see are the Scaup and the Smew
Great video Liam, I love the sound of a flock of wigeon makes.
You should definitely feature the other ducks. I like the Mandarin ones I sometimes see.
Great! Certainly a video on the rarer species would be nice.

I'm pleased that Liam hasn't ducked this subject.
Nice video Liam.
Hope your family are doing well
There are plenty of beautiful ducks in the UK for sure
Would definitely like a video on the rarer ducks!
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck….
Liam thank you for a great video
I seen a white wild malard once, is it albino or an escaped domesticated one?
Thanks. 👍
Who gives a Duck ? I do
They are eating the cats, they are eating the dogs, they are eating the ducks
No Mandarins? You included an introduced "goose" with a lower population, so you have no reason to exclude these majestic residents of ours.
There's always at least one moaner in every TH-cam comment section. 😂
Even on a short video about ducks. 😅

@JohnyG29 He specifically asked us to comment on omissions, you boorish clown.

Am I the only one that thinks of orange sauce.?
They are beautiful and I love watching them on the local ponds.
