RUDDY SHELDUCK hybrid at College Lake in February 2004



Re: previous Ruddy Shelduck county records

The bird that was reported as a Ruddy Shelduck from College Lake on 22nd February 2004 was actually not a pure bird, rather a strange-looking presumed hybrid, perhaps with Egyptian Goose? See photo above (Ben Miller)

This individual was also seen at Maple Lodge at around the same time (LGRE)
