In game.
Mallards are a small waterbird found around lakes. Their eggs can be found among lake reeds along the shore in the summer.
It is generally not worth the effort of actively hunting as arrows shot at it will usually need to be retrieved from the far out in the water. Small traps along the shoreline of larger lakes can occasionally catch them.
Provides 20ish feathers, 3-??? cuts and 0.3 lbs. of leather (like capercaillie)
