Hi everyone:

I did a 3 hour walk into the woods behind Martock this morning and  
found a lake with a female duck and her young. They were too far away  
to get a good look, so I tried to take some pictures and got a few that  
might help identify it.

The main thing that I noticed with binoculars was the the front of the  
neck had a white area, and there is also a while streak that runs  
though the eye and curves down the side of the face. This seems to show  
up best in picture #2. The blue-gray area on the side of the female,   
also shows in #3 but the colour is not as easily seen.
