Observation details
one intersex male found by Dave Roberts earlier. See comments on Twitter below: Didn't think I'd see this character again at Marston. Gadwall × mallard or mallard intersex? With @SpadgeBirder . @BirdHybrids @Alexander_Lees @lincsbirders @Lincsbirding pic.twitter.com/0doK0y6nld— Dave Roberts (@DJRBirder) February 22, 2019 It’s an intersex female Mallard - the bill is like a typical female Mallard. Male Gadwall x Mallard bills are variable but if there’s a significant amount of colour then it’s yellow not orange & the black along the culmen is straighter-edged not a rounded patch as fem Mallard.— Bird Hybrids (@BirdHybrids) February 22, 2019
