Common Goldeneye / bucephala clangula. Staffordshire. 10/05/18.

 

'AN ITCH ON THE BACK OF THE LEG.'

 

She had partially rolled onto her left side, revealing her grey flanks and a flash of white belly.

'Goldeneye' really is a misnomer for the female of this species. If viewed large you can see the eye is actually whitish-lemon and rather cold looking.

 

BEST VIEWED LARGE.
