Male Mallards in eclipse plumage

Male Mallard ducks are seen above in their eclipse plumage, which occurs for approximately four weeks between June and September, and makes the males resemble their female partners.   They are seen below in flight and their white and blue upper wing patches are readily visible.

Making another appearance, as it did a week ago in this space, is a Green Heron at the Dufferin Marsh behind the Brownsville Junction Shopping Centre, in Schomberg.
