Yes first is Muscovy and my guess for the second one was Indian runner but I'm no expert on domestic ducks. I do know that released/ escaped mallards can cause a problem by hybridising with native black ducks. I'm not sure if there are similar issues for other species such as these though.
Thanks to you all for your replies. I was on my way back from the Jamboree at Cataract Park & we stopped at this park for the evening meal with bus loads of kids.
Just nice watching them & wonder what sort they were. When it come to birds don't know to many by their type. Over the years I have taken pic of different types of birds, but it was good to come across this web site.
I believe the second one is a greylag goose variety but the first one has me stumped.
Hi commish and amateur
Both domestic duck, #1 has a lot of Muscuvy and #2 I think may be Alsbury (both those spelling may be wrong)
