The Welsh Harlequin is a breed of domestic duck originating in Wales, amd is the only truly Welsh duck breed. In 1949, in Criccieth, Group Captain Leslie Bonnet discovered a colour mutation among his flock of Khaki Campbells and began selective breeding for the trait. By 1968, hatching eggs were exported to the United States, followed by the importation of live birds in 1981.

Today, the Welsh Harlequin is a light-weight duck breed known for its vivid plumage and egg laying ability. Over the years the colour and conformation of the breed has changed, indicating that likely new blood of another breed has been introduced. Welsh Harlequins weigh 4.5 to 5.5 pounds (2-2.5 kilos). Females have a black bill and brown legs and feet, and their plumage is similar to a mallard but heavily frosted with white. They also lack the eye stripes of mallard females. Drakes are also similar to a heavily frosted Mallard with a yellow/green bill and orange legs and feet. There is also a color variation known as "golden", popular in the UK, which replaces the black feather pigments with a light golden brown colour.

The birds produce a lean carcass and are active foragers, though they are sometimes more vulnerable to predators such as birds of prey due to their light colouration. The egg laying ability is highly valued as the production exhibited by some ducks rivals that of hens. The breed is prone to broodiness and a pair can easily produce young without human interference. They have become a popular backyard pet in recent years due to the bird's calm demeanour and high egg production.

Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday. Wishing all the Canadian ladies a very happy Canada Day!

Dogged, I'm glad Germane enjoyed her outing i and how wise to take advantage of the better weather.

I hope you have a better night's sleep, L.Ann

KitKat, your soup sounded delicious!

DH goes to the office today, with instructions to book the car in at PS's garage, but not on the 22nd, when it's Freddie's appointment. ( With Fred's "personal" vet being off for that week, it took a lot of effort to organise someone else to see him, partly I think because of Freddie amd his reputation, but partly because of the restrictions with Solensia. Put the two together and it's the perfect storm! )

This morning is cloudy and cool so far, but the temperature is due to rise substantially today, so I need to garden either early or late, amd.not.8n the middle of the day. However, if it does warm up a lot, I don't want to be doing the kitchen with any sun streaming in later on, either. Decisions, decisions!
