Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn wildlife nature camera travel video clip of a local woman feeding quacking ducks on a visit and trip to Gannochy Pond in Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. This pond is located at the corner of Annat Road and Dupplin Road. Mallard ducks Anas platyrhynchos are the most commonly sighted duck in the United Kingdom. They are as happy to take up residence in urban areas as they are in remote and secluded areas, which is probably the reason for being so commonly seen. They are the first bird which most Scottish children experience a close encounter with, providing people with childhood memories of going to the duck pond. Other than the Muscovy Duck, the mallard is the ancestor of nearly all domestic duck breeds. Contrary to popular belief, their favourite food includes: seeds, aquatic vegetation, acorns, berries, plants, insects and shellfish. They appear to enjoy eating bread.. Bird seed or special duck food makes a great alternative. They do not dive down under the water, but instead tend to tip forward with their tails in the air. They also forage for food on land, around the waters edge and in farmers’ fields. According to the meteorological calendar, the first day of Autumn or Fall always falls on September 1. If you follow the astrological calendar, however, Autumn or Fall begins on Saturday, September 23. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome
