How do you determine the gender of Shelduck? |

I'm not being crude but males have a bill knob which females lack. Check out any decent field guide and you'll see what I mean. Ad Med Gull with missing inner most primary in right wing on Willow Lake today (Sat). Its the same bird that has been around the Boultham Mere area recently. Regards Grahame |
