You didn't say what other species would have been in the hybrid. Out here (in Australia) mallards can hybridize with some of our native species - to the detriment of the native species unfortunately.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-83714625601272226372010-05-03T20:41:58.842+01:002010-05-03T20:41:58.842+01:00A Frog doing his/her thing, thanks Tricia.A Frog doing his/her thing, thanks Tricia.Bob Bushellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819577478571292055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-38232453479739897392010-05-03T20:17:04.818+01:002010-05-03T20:17:04.818+01:00Lovely photos, Tricia!

What a great time of year it is :) I saw a mallard family the other day with eleven ducklings, mum has her work cut out there I think!<br /><br />Always interesting to see the Marsh Frogs, we don't have them in this area. Nice to see the flutter on the Lady's Smock also.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-59958360183396134682010-05-03T18:10:53.426+01:002010-05-03T18:10:53.426+01:00Poor weather or not you still managed some lovely ...Poor weather or not you still managed some lovely awww photos.
