Shelducks are one of our largest ducks. They nest underground, in old rabbit burrows! #LoveADuck

Underground nesting ducks?

They deserve a day to themselves!

  • Sussex Wildlife Trust information on Shelducks

  • WWT page on where different species of ducks nest

  • RSPB information on Shelducks

  • David Attenborough talking about Shelducks

  • An Autumnwatch article on Shelducks

And here’s a couple of videos:

The Lifecycle of the Shelduck

Secrets of the Shelduck

This is a long one — good for getting some work done, or a sanity break after two days of home-schooling!
