1D2, 400mm, 1/1000sec at f5.6, ISO 400 (Connaught Water)
At a local lake and saw this bird trying to mix with the Mallard not very successfully. Not a good shot, rather a quick snap shot of rare visitor?
These are feral at quite a few sites in England now especially down the Thames corridor and have a stronghold at Cotswold Water Park Glos, we get them quite regularly at the Theale Gravel pit complex in Reading. In London area they are feral at St James and Regents Parks - the most likely source of your bird?
