Around 1 pm today my wife and I spotted a strange duck. At first I thought it must be some hybid-mallard or something, but I really think it is a Shelduck. It was on the West end of the Park.

I don't see what other duck (unless a hybrid) it could have been wiht the dark head, chestnut and white body with black wing markings, and yellow rump, but I welcome any guidance.
