White-headed Duck (Oxyura leucocephala)

The White-headed Duck is a rare and endangered duck, native to Spain, North Africa, western and central Asia. Populations are declining mostly due to loss of habitat and pollution. It is a small stiff-tailed, diving duck. I found this one wild and free in Southern Spain.
