The Mallard record reached its maximum speed on a downhill run and actually failed technically in due course, whereas 05 002's journey was on level grade and the engine did not yet seem to be at its limit, though on the other hand the German train was only four coaches long ( 197 tons ), whilst Mallard ` s train was seven coaches ( 240 tons ).

As a result many prestigious locomotives, such as Flying Scotsman, Sir Nigel Gresley, and Mallard which ran on the East Coast Main Line, were also frequent visitors to the line.

At any rate, American Black Ducks and local Mallards are now very hard to distinguish by means of microsatellite comparisons, even if many specimens are sampled Contrary to this study's claims, the question whether the American haplotypes are an original Mallard lineage is far from resolved.

The line was worked for many years by Pacific locomotives designed by Gresley, including the famous steam locomotives " Flying Scotsman " and " Mallard ".

It is sometimes claimed that National's influence was instrumental in gaining Mana Wahine official recognition as a party, and many members of the Opposition claimed that this help was given in order to secure Mana Wahine's vote – Trevor Mallard, a Labour Party MP, openly called it a " bribe ".

This had been foreseen by the publicity department, who had many pictures taken for the press, in case Mallard did not make it back to Kings Cross.

The maximum recorded age is 27 years and 5 months for a Dutch bird, but the average life span for wild birds will be much shorter than this, and is likely to be similar to that of other wild ducks, such as the Mallard, at about two years.

Both sexes of this 51 – 56 cm length bird resemble a female Mallard, but with a slightly darker body.

Ashliman has pointed out other versions of a Golden Fowl theme: The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs ( Aesop ); The Golden Mallard ( from the Jataka stories of the Buddha's former births ); the Huma bird ( Persia ).

The two white-fronted goose species differ little other than in size ( the Lesser, at 53 – 66 cm length and with a 120 – 135 cm wingspan, is not much bigger than a Mallard ( Anas platyrhynchos ) but both may be readily distinguished from the Greylag Goose by their bright orange legs and their mouse-coloured upper wing-coverts.

Usually placed in Anas like most dabbling ducks, it stands well apart from such species as the Mallard and together with the other shovelers and their relatives forms a " blue-winged " group that may warrant separation as genus Spatula.

This is quite unusual among different species, and apparently is because the Mallard evolved very rapidly and recently, during the Late Pleistocene.

Considering mtDNA D-loop sequence data, they may have evolved in the general area of Siberia ; Mallard bones rather abruptly appear in food remains of ancient humans and other deposits of fossil bones in Europe, without a good candidate for a local predecessor species.

The Mallard is a medium-sized waterfowl species, although is often slightly heavier than most other dabbling ducks.

This has created conservation concerns for relatives of the Mallard, such as the Hawaiian Duck, the A. s. superciliosa subspecies of the Pacific Black Duck, the American Black Duck, the Mottled Duck, Meller's Duck, the Yellow-billed Duck, and the Mexican Duck, in the latter case even leading to a dispute whether these birds should be considered a species ( and thus entitled to more conservation research and funding ) or included in the Mallard.

The Mallard duck can cross breed with 63 other species and is posing a severe threat to the genetic integrity of indigenous waterfowl.

It is native to eastern North America and has shown reduction in numbers and increasing hybridization with the more common Mallard as that species has spread with man-made habitat changes.

Some authorities even consider the Black Duck to be a subspecies of the Mallard, not a separate species at all ; this is in error as the extent of hybridization alone is not a valid means to delimitate Anas species.

This was found to be the case when the Mallard was introduced into New Zealand and interbred freely with the native Grey Duck, which had been classified as a separate species.

This has always been so to a limited extent ; individuals of the migratory American Black ducks which winter in the Mottled Duck's range may occasionally stay there and mate with the resident species, and for the Mallard, which colonized North America later, the same holds true ( McCracken et al.

Other common species include the Barrow's Goldeneye, Red-breasted Merganser, Wigeon, Gadwall, Mallard, Common Scoter, Long-tailed duck and Eurasian Teal.

The now extinct Mariana Mallard was probably originally derived from hybrids between this species and the mallard, which came to the islands during migration and settled down there.

( 1994 ) say their data " points to the eventual loss of identity of the Grey Duck as a separate species in New Zealand, and the subsequent dominance of a hybrid swarm akin to the Mariana Mallard.

The conservation of this species was long hampered by its — entirely erroneous, see below — dismissal as a variant of the Mallard which deserved no special interest.

Due to the outward similarity of Meller's Duck to the female Mallard, it was commonly placed close to that species.

Its taxonomic status is debated, and it has variously been treated as a full species, a subspecies of the Mallard or the Pacific Black Duck, or sometimes as a subspecies of the Indian Spot-billed Duck.
