There is a pair of ducks wandering around my garden this morning. I can't get too close to get a better pic but one looks to be all black with a white breast. Is it definitely a wild one?

I suppose saying the feathered kind or the kind that'll go well with citrus (either lemon or orange) is not very helpful....Never test the depth of the water with both feet
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

Hmmm... I looked on there. It must be some kind of domestic mallard. I have a little pond by my garden gate and we always get a wild breeding pair come every spring, though this black one looks strange and its big!!Comment

The front one is a Mallard. I would guess at the other being a crossbreed. I believe Ducks aren't particularly fussy - bit like sailors; any port in a storm!
