Ducks in Moscow, Mallard and Ruddy Shelduck

Ducks in Moscow, September 8, 2018


Just regular ducks on some pond somewhere in North Moscow. Two distinct varieties, I believe.


These are Mallard ducks?








And the Ruddy Shelduck who have spread in Moscow over the past decade.

In the summer they live all over Moscow on ponds but in the winter they winter only on the central (heated) pond of the Moscow Zoo, from which they had spread in the first place.
