The Shoveler (Northern Shoveler) is a duck of many colours. From it's black bill, green head, and yellow eye. To it's Chestnut brown flanks, white chest, black back and blue wing feathers. Oh, and orange legs.
If you miss all those colours, you can't miss it's mahoosive shovel like bill. It is a pretty impressive looking duck.
They're handsome birds. Lovely colours.
