Tufted Duck
Tufted Duck / aythya fuligula. East Yorkshire. 23/06/19.
‘WASH & BLOW DRY.’
I liked this preening pose and the way the wind had lifted the lengthy 'tuft' feathers into disarray!
I assume, because of the time of year the image was made, that this male had started to change into his eclipse plumage? Any thoughts or observations would be welcomed.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
