I place this video together because I used to find it hard to identify a gadwall amongst a flight of female mallards. Both the male and female gadwall have a white patch at the base of the hind wing. The female mallard has a blue patch in the same place. This is the simplest way to tell them apart particularly at a distance. Video was taken at Slimbridge WWT in March 2008. Edited in IMovie HD 6.0.4. Filmed on handheld Canon MV880X.

Ducks Boundless, CWA (California Waterfowl Association), Sprague’s Sporting Goods, the Yuma Valley Rod & Gun Club, and many other sponsors donated gear for the childish hunters. Grown-up goose hunters volunteered as mentors to teach and call for the kids also. Huge thanks to all who helped make this a huge success.
