Windsor, UK. 30th May, 2024. A brown mallard duck on the River Thames in Windsor, Berkshire. "Like other waterfowl, mallards undergo a series of molts or "feather changes." The male bird usually leaves the female after the eggs have been laid and retires to the seclusion of the marsh where he undergoes a complete molt from the green head, white neck-ring, and rusty-colored breast to a drab-colored, brown".
