Gadwall Duck
Yep, I got close enough to this Gadwall to get a good photo … a new one for me!

Spring migration is well under way … I don’t even know how many varieties of ducks there were at the Leslie Street Spit, my lens was too short!
Redheads are the ones with brown heads. The Bufflehead (male) is the little guy at front and centre, I think there is a female Goldeneye in the bottom right. Gadwall is top left.
This fellow was seeking off somewhere and wanted to be sure I wasn’t going to follow him.
Absolutely beautiful in full breeding plumage … shimmering in the sun set.
A gorgeous night in Thornbury harbour, these young fellows seem to be out cruising for some action. As they mature their bills will turn bright orange.
The white line across the horizon it the ice line receding.
