Common Goldeneye
Common Goldeneye / bucephala clangula. Staffordshire. 10/05/18.
'RED LETTER DAY.'
An image I made just under two years ago when I connected with some Goldeneye.
After a lot of diving for food, this female moved to the shallows to preen. It was the first time I had ever seen one with body fully out of the water, so a rare treat! She preened in short bursts of activity and would stand still in-between, observing what was happening around her. How obliging was that!
