2015-04-08 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Subspecies: platyrhynchos Adult male with the yellowish bill. Abnormal form. The classic one with the white breast. Apparently both wild and domesticated birds can show these different plumages. However, it is fact that most of these are seen in parks and similar places away from 'real' wild nature. |

2016-10-23 Nordhavnstippen (Stubben), Denmark Subspecies: platyrhynchos The underwing looks strange, guess that it is because it is a young bird - a male due to the strong shift between the brown breast and the white belly. |

2019-10-06 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Subspecies: platyrhynchos Guessing young male still with completely dark bill. Male because it looks like it has a greenish cast to the top of the head (are these aberrants always males?). With normal male. Aberrant type commonly found in human surroundings. Aberrant |

2022-08-20 Grib Skov, Denmark Female. Sandskredssøen. I've never seen a duck trying to eat a frog. Or knew that they do. But the line confirms it. If given the opportunity ducks eat anything. This, Edible I think, Frog probably was too big a mouthful, though. At least to swallow on the fly while swimming away. Rare |

2022-12-22 Christianshavns vold og voldgrav, Denmark Adult. Male. Ravelinen. At one point all the male ducks standing along the shore were spreading their tail like this. A courtship detail? though there didn't seem to be any intersexual activities going on. |
