Eurasian Wigeon
Another trip to Slimbridge in early April. A lot of the over Wintering birds had left and the outer fields and Tack Piece Lagoon were very quiet.
Weather was a bit duller than expected with just short periods of sun.
A Wigeon on the far side of the Tack Piece Lagoon.
The Eurasian Wigeon, also known as Widgeon, is a dabbling duck.
The Eurasian Wigeon is a close relative to the American Wigeon.
The Wigeon often gather with Coots and divers on the water and are known to feed off vegetation brought to the surface whilst the divers are feeding.
