Mallards have joined our flock

..and this one is a little happier than previous post. Two mallards have moved in and Daffy, Donald and Daisy have accepted them. Both have the curled tail but only one looks mature. I had initially thought the immature drake was female and even now I am not sure. I know that females quack loudly and this one is quite the quacker but I have never really heard a mallard before. And there's the curled drake tail feather! It is already following me around when I have food and it's only been his second visit to my backyard (This video is of the first visit and that's why Lucy is seen here and there). Enjoy!
