Mallardius mallardius
I occasionally ask my kids questions about wildlife to keep their interest up. This was my daughter's go at the Latin name for the mallard - makes sense to me!

7D, 500mm + 1.4x.
1/800th, f5,6, ISO 400.
Supported by wobbly log, me on belly and hand in nettles.

Thanks for looking.

Tim

Hi Tim

Makes more sense than Manx Shearwater being called Puffinus puffinus and Puffin is called Fratercula arctica - nice one Tim!
