Observation details

Continuing. First searched at the river mouth but finally found with a female Mallard and 2 probable hybrid chicks right upstream of the church bridge (56.702373, -5.568776), seen from bridge. This is actually the most common place to find it at this time of year at least. Good info on https://www.birdguides.com/articles/american-black-duck-a-long-distance-love-affair
