A rarity for my region — a Yellow-Billed Duck (beehaw.org)
I was taking a walk (as I always do) on Saturday morning around my neighbourhood. There’s a couple of ponds around and on the bank of one of those ponds, I saw two strange ducks.

One of the artificial lakes here (Bielefeld, Germany) has been drained, presumably to have it cleaned....
