Those are Muscovy Ducks you have taken pics of. They ARE a domestic species of duck and often turn up on ponds....apparently they are really intelligent and great characters.
Hi there.
Saw this pair of birds by a public pond in Southern UK... are they Geese of some kind? Never seen anything like them...
Has anyone any idea what they might be?
Many Thanks

Wow!
Thanks Gill! So they are Ducks and not Geese? Gosh. They are quite large, broad birds which led me to believe they were of the Goose variety.
Thanks ever so much - that's cleared that mystery up!
Cheers,
