New duck – to me - Muscovy

Just back from the park in the cold and found this, so just did an internet search to find out what it is.  Apparently, it’s a Muscovy duck – a farm/domestic type duck which doesn’t like water much and even eats small rodents, such as guinea pigs, mice, rats, hamsters, etc – unusual?

Much to my surprise, the lake at the park is part frozen – I really didn’t think it was quite so cold!!  Brr – I’m cold now, having been round the park.  It’s still frosty and was foggy until lunchtime but the sun was out when we left…
