(aka Common Shelduck)
England
The Shelduck breeds in coastal north-west Europe, the Mediterranean, Central Asia and China.
At Bristol they have two Ruddy x Common shelduck hybrids - I will try to get a picture on my blog. The different birds are not very similar to each other or their parents ...
Also known as the European Shelduck or Common Shelduck.
These Shelducks are well-mannered and coexist with other species with no problems.
