"Mallard: A Symbol of Speed, Beauty, and Motherhood" On Sunday 3rd July 1938, Mallard raced past Little Bytham at an astonishing speed of 123 mph (198 km/h), leaving spectators in awe of its power and grace. This iconic locomotive holds a special place in British history as it broke the world speed record for steam locomotives. But let's not forget about another magnificent creature that shares the same name - the Mallard Duck. Picture a serene flock gracefully gliding on water, their vibrant feathers reflecting shades of blue. These ducks are known for their beauty and elegance, captivating all who lay eyes upon them. In Tony Thompson's Elizabethan Express (1954), he beautifully captures the essence of this majestic bird. The artwork showcases the Mallard Duck in all its splendor, reminding us of nature's wonders. Speaking of artistry, Nancy Schon's Make Way for Ducklings sculpture in Boston Public Garden is a beloved tribute to these feathered friends. It depicts a mother Mallard leading her adorable ducklings across a road – a heartwarming scene that resonates with people from all walks of life. Vernon Ward's Winter Circle painting transports us to a tranquil winter landscape where we find ourselves captivated by the sight of Mallards gracefully gliding through icy waters. Their resilience against harsh conditions reminds us that strength can be found even in adversity. These ducks also play an important role on farms alongside chickens and other poultry. They bring diversity to our barnyards while contributing to sustainable agriculture practices. In Arundel Sussex, witness yet another remarkable sight as you see a mother Mallard fearlessly guiding her ducklings across busy roads – showcasing both bravery and maternal instinct. As seasons change, so does their appearance; Vernon Ward's Winter Plumage painting portrays these birds donning their stunning winter attire – feathers glistening under soft snowflakes, a true testament to their adaptability.
