This pair of birds float around the waters that surround Stockholm's islands. Although they're Mallards, they look different than the North American birds I'm familiar with. They are longer and sleeker and not as iridescent and squat as American mallards. Their bills seem longer, as well. But they behave the same, swimming in a line with the male in front, dabbling with curly tail feathers to the sky. This pair of birds float around the waters that surround Stockholm's islands.
