Today was beautiful! The sun allowed for good light and the wind on the 
dyke was bearable.
There were about 200 ducks on the north sewer pond with about one third 
of the pond ice free.
Most of the ducks were mallards but with patience and time I was able 
to pick out some interesting ones.
One of the drakes was very dark, all of the markings were as a usual 
mallard but without the neck ring and all colours were a tone or two 
darker than the other drakes.
There was at least one other drake without the neck ring but with the 
usual colouration.
Two drakes were Black/Mallard cross.
One Blake Duck drake with a very bright bill.
One female pintail.
One Gadwall drake.

Remember to use the compressor building as a blind, the ducks are using 
the north pond, so walk to the south end of the building then climb the 
small hill and peek around the east side of the building.
