Wikipedia:
El ánade real o azulón (Anas platyrhynchos) es un pato de superficie del género anas, perteneciente al orden de los anseriformes y a la familia Anatidae. Común y muy extendido. Habita áreas de temperatura subtropical de Norte América, Europa y Asia. También frecuenta Centroamérica y el Caribe. Probablemente es el más conocido de todos los patos.

The Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos, probably the best-known and most recognizable of all ducks, is a dabbling duck which breeds throughout the temperate and sub-tropical areas of North America, Europe, Asia, New Zealand (where it is currently the most common duck species), and Australia. It is strongly migratory in the northern parts of its breeding range, and winters farther south. For example, in North America it winters south to Mexico, but also regularly strays into Central America and the Caribbean between September and May.

Es mi primer animal en TN. Sed benévolos.

Hola Julian.

Si que les pones nombres a los patos, como yo le llamo a todos, en este caso dos medios patos que no hacen uno entero.
Parecen de distinta clase y sin embargo hacen buenas migas.

Salujdos

Hi Julian,

Your ducks make a nice first animal entry. I always find it difficult to get photos of ducks that are sufficiently sharp. Yours could be a bit sharper, but they're not bad. They're certainly very colorful. I like the way that they're side by side. TFS.

Hi Julian...
