Another Male Mallard, showing a beautiful shade of purple.

Tufted Duck. These birds have distinct orange eyes, black and white plumage, and a tuft on the back of their heads, hence the name.

Canada Goose. A brown bird with a distinct black neck and head, with a white patch on the head.

Two juvenile Mute Swans making a heart shape at Blackford pond.

Female Mallard. Distinctly less colourful than the male and more brown in colour, however, with more pattern in the plumage.
