Quacking good!
I don't know quite what this Lesser Scaup drake was saying but he was trying to communicate!
I feel like a dentist peering into his bill - there is this interesting tongue, it looks split, and there, hanging from the underside of the top bill, a row of thin bristles on each side. I don't think I'd like to be bitten by this fellow!
