Mallard Ducks Feeding

Описание: A mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) couple feeding on a pond in the Pacific Northwest. As dabbling ducks, they feed in the water by tipping themselves forward and grazing on underwater plants. While around 2/3 of their diet comes from plant matter, they are omnivores and the other 1/3 of their diet consists of gastropods, insects, crustaceans, and worms. In 2017, a flock of mallards in Romania was observed hunting grey wagtails and black redstarts, the first time they were ever seen feeding on large vertebrates.
