How to identify
The Gadwall is a very grey-coloured dabbling duck, a little smaller than the Mallard, and with an obvious black rear end. It shows a white wing patch in flight. When seen close-up the grey colour is made up of exquisitely fine stripes and speckling. It nests in low numbers in the UK and is an Amber List species.Key
