An American Visitor?

......... I'm told there is a duck visiting the lake from America so I went along to see if I could spot it ......... I'm not certain ( not being much of an expert on water birds ) but I believe this is the female Ring Necked Duck in question..........can anyone out there confirm that?

In other news.........my brother bought mum home from the nursing home today and we are just hoping she behaves herself with the care visitors that she needs but doesn't want ....... time will tell :-/
