The northern shoveler, known in Britain as the Shoveler. The UK has around 1,100 breeding pairs of this duck but wintering numbers increase to nearly 20,000 birds. Last week there were a few birds in Titchfield Haven nature reserve today the numbers have increased – I counted at least 30 birds.
Continued Reflections from my World. 
With that huge bill I see why this duck is named Shoveler. Both the male and female are beautiful.

They do live up to their name Peggy. They are good lookers.
