Muscovy Ducks are found at scattered locations across England. These ducks are usually found close to habitation, they are semi-domesticated or feral. This duck appeared on a pond in the New Forest last week. He is fairly tame, suggesting he is used to people. I suspect he has been dumped at the pond, due to bird flu. There are increased restrictions on fowl ownership in the UK.
The pond also has a good population of another non-native duck – The Mandarins.

That is an unusual duck there Andy. I had a fellow blogger here in Michigan once and she raised them, but she dropped off the map as far as posting.
