Juvenile Northern Pintail
A trip to Slimbridge, Gloucestershire in early November 2023. The water levels on the lagoons on the outer fields were starting to rise and the winter birds starting to arrive.

Slightly bigger than a Mallard, these long-necked and small-headed ducks fly with curved back pointed wings and a tapering tail, making this the best way to distinguish them from other ducks in the UK.
The Northern Pintail is a dabbling duck that breeds in the northern areas of Europe, Asia and North America.
