The Mallard, anas platyrhynchos, is the most familiar and widespread species of dabbling duck bird in Europe, including Britain and Ireland. Mallards are adaptable waders who live happily in tiny ponds in towns and cities as well as in marshes and wetlands in the wider countryside. Males and females are not alike. The male has a distinctive bottle green head, a white collar, purple-brown breast and grey on the wings and underparts. The female has mottled brown plumage. Mallards are sociable ducks. The Mallard's adaptability to different types of environments has allowed them to spread to towns and cities. Some in parks and lakes can become very tame, especially if they are regularly fed by humans. Both the male and female have blue wing bars, edged in black and white. The male's bill is greenish yellow and the female's bill is orange brow. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March.

Magpie Birds On Spring Monday Visit To My Cottage Garden Scone Perth Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland short 4K Spring Monday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of beautiful. sociable, black and white Magpie Birds spotted eating on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The magpie bird is one of our most familiar birds and the source of much myth and legend: '" ne for sorrow, two for a joy "is a rhyme that many children learn. Magpies are, in fact, small crows, and are omnivorous, feeding on carrion, invertebrates, and chicks and eggs. They are sociable birds and are often seen in small groups across many habitats, from gardens to parks, and heaths to hedges. The magpie is an unmistakeable long tailed bird. It is mainly black, with a white belly and white patches on the shoulders and wings. Folklore surrounds the magpie: from providing good luck when greeted, to being in league with the Devil, its ubiquitous presence has provided plenty of opportunities for stories. Many surround religion, including the belief that it didn't mourn with all the other birds at Christ's crucifixion, and that it refused to enter Noah's Ark, preferring to stay on the roof and swear for the whole journey.
