We took a nice long walk along the #GrandUnionCanal looking at the canal wildlife, just a few ducks, no swans, we couldn’t see any fish unfortunately
Fun Facts About Mallard Ducks:-
- The male Mallard is called a drake and the female a hen.
- Ducks may waddle along slowly, but they can fly pretty fast. At top speed they can hit 70 miles per hour!
- Mallards can fly nearly vertical, if needed. This includes taking off from the water almost straight up.
- A group of ducks that are flying is called a flock, but when they are on the water the group is called a sord.
