Good point David, well spotted.
The similarities between an albino Shelduck and a Pekin are (as far as
I can make out): they're both white, they both have feathers and a bill
(a ducks bill), they both have webbed feet, and they're both ducks.
Cheers,
Tim

Hmmm ... The above stastement was fair enough until you get to the bit
about Muscovy and Pekin. These two ducks look nothing alike. Pekins
have a rather upright carriage while Muscovies are very low slung.
Check out http://www.domestic-waterfowl.co.uk/pekin.htm if you are
