• I haven’t seen this duck in Latvia, but I know they can be found here. These pictures are shot in Germany, near Berlin at a park. Can’t say that I would classify these ducks as wildlife – they weren’t careful at all. I had just to walk to them without any caution and take my pictures, that’s all.
• Starting tip: none.
