Massed mallards at reservoir car park
There are large numbers of mallards all around Tunstall Reservoir many of which congregate close to the car park where they pester visitors for food handouts.
The males are in full breeding plumage having gone through the end of summer moult which is a two-stage change of feathers known as the eclipse.
