EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Dave Pressland, we witness a moment of sheer brilliance and charm. Meet our feathery friend, the Muscovy Duck - an introduced feral species with a mischievous spirit that has found its way to Ashby Ville Lake in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire. With its vibrant plumage glistening under the winter sun, this adult Muscovy Duck stands tall in shallow water. But what truly steals the show is its reflection shimmering on the calm surface of the lake. It's as if nature itself decided to play a whimsical game of "copycat". Hailing from South America and Central America, this escapee from across the pond has made quite an impression on English soil. With its domesticated origins evident in its confident demeanor, it effortlessly blends into Europe's temperate climate. As we marvel at this delightful scene unfolding before us, let us not forget that sometimes unexpected introductions can bring joy and wonder to new landscapes. So here's to all those daring escapees who have become beloved aliens among us – may they continue to grace our lakeshores with their wild beauty!
