Dabbling ducks Mallard Anas platyrhynchos

            Dabbling ducks tend to be found on freshwater and usually feed on weeds, seeds and small invertebrates, dabbling their wide beaks close to the surface of the water, or just below it, upending themselves to reach food, rarely diving. Their legs are placed centrally, meaning they are good at walking on land. Wings are long and pointed so they can take off from water without a run-up.
