野鴨 / Mallard

野鴨廣泛的分佈在日本的本州和北海道。許多野鴨會在冬天時飛到本州，春天時又回到北海道。夏天剛開始的時候常常看到母鳥和數隻的雛鳥在一起的姿態。在札幌市中心的中島公園和北海道廳舊本廳舍（紅磚廳舍）的池塘都可以看到野鴨。相較之下可以比較容易在近距離拍攝到野鴨。但是嚴禁餵食野鴨。

Magamo, or mallard in English, live in Honshu Island and Hokkaido, and are a common wild bird in Japan. In winter, they fly to Honshu in order to avoid the cold weather, but they come back to Hokkaido at the beginning of spring. Usually, couples with their baby chicks can be seen in the beginning of summer. They can even be seen in the central areas of Sapporo, in the ponds of Nakajima Park and the Former Hokkaido Government Office. It’s relatively easy to shoot photos of them as they are used to humans, but feeding them is frowned upon.
