Hi - saw this extrodinary female Mallard Duck. Guess something had gone wrong with nature's paint scheme!

Nikon D50 + Sigma 50-500 lens @320mm, aperture f/9, shutter speed 1/640, ISO 400 & tripod mounted.

Cheers - Herman

certainly a different duck! Don't get to see those colors...must be a hybrid of sorts.
