Second picture...remind me Uncle Scruz... :)
Thank you
I think what you have there is a Manky Duck. It's the result of a mallard crossbreeding with another kind of duck. (Think of a labradoodle - it's when two different dogs breed). Mallards have entirely green heads and necks, a thin white collar and a copperish-brown chest.
