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.

Female Blackbird On Spring Thursday Visit To My Cottage Garden Scone Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring Thursday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a familiar dark brown female Blackbird spotted eating on afternoon visit and trip to the grounds of my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Female and juvenile blackbirds have a mainly dark brown plumage. This widespread bird is a common visitor to United Kingdom gardens, and has adapted well to suburban areas, it’s often possible to get quite close. It can also be found in woodland and grassland areas, but you’re much less likely to see it on areas of higher ground and in some parts of Scotland, Common and widespread across Britain, the blackbird population is currently stable, although it has seen periods of decline in the past. One of the biggest threats is lack of food availability, particularly when the weather is dry. Leaving mealworms and ground feeder mix out on bird tables and planting bushes that attract caterpillars to your garden are great ways to help blackbirds. If you were to believe various myths and folktales, you’d find this solitary, territorial bird to be imbued with evil and supernatural powers. Welsh poet R. S. Thomas observed that there was “ a suggestion of dark Places ” about the blackbird that was at odds with its beautiful song. In the story of the life of Saint Benedict, the Devil was said to have come to tempt the saint in the form of a blackbird. The English nursery rhyme “ Sing a Song of Sixpence ” involves blackbirds “ baked in a pie ” which reanimate and sing when the pie is opened.
