There are various ducks & geese at the Eastern lake, in Birkenhead Park. Canada Geese & Mallards, in the main. This is a different breed of duck, though, and much bigger than a Mallard. He seems to be quite capable of looking after himself. The strange skin, of his face, is perfectly normal for a Muscovy drake.
