He’s got his (red) eye on me! A male Common Pochard (Aythya ferina), at RSPB Ham Wall last month. Fewer than a thousand pairs of these omnivorous diving ducks breed in the UK, but the wintering population can be as high as 30,000 birds.

Photo of a male Pochard, swimming fast towards the left of the image. His beak is pale blue with a black tip and base (or is it black with a pale blue middle?), his head is a dark orange colour, his eye is red with a black pupil, and his body is black at the front and rear, with grey-coloured flanks, wings and back in between.

Revisant algunes fotos d'aquest estiu veig que aquesta no l'havia publicat. Es tracta d'una femella de morell cap-roig que vaig veure al #clotdegalvany.
