Pato Cuchareta, Northern Shoveler / Spatula clypeata (Rnc) (M)
El cuchara común (Spatula clypeata), también denominado pato cuchara, pato cucharo, pato cuchareta o pato cucharón norteño, es una especie de ave anseriforme de la familia Anatidae ampliamente extendida por el mundo
No es tan gregaria como otros patos fuera de la época de cría y tiende a formar sólo pequeñas bandadas. A pesar de su apariencia rechoncha y torpe los cuchara son excelentes voladores
se alimenta en la superficie del agua, generalmente nadando despacio en aguas someras pasando su pico de lado a lado. Su gran pico plano tiene el borde dotado con laminillas en forma de peine que actúan como un colador que permite a estos patos filtrar plancton, insectos, pequeños crustáceos, otros invertebrados acuáticos y semillas de los que se alimenta. Para alimentarse mantiene el pico en el agua casi horizontal moviendo su cabeza de un lado a otro, así filtra el agua y el limo reteniendo la comida.
The northern shoveler (/ˈʃʌvələr/; Spatula clypeata), known simply in Britain as the shoveler, is a common and widespread duck. It breeds in northern areas of Europe and Asia and across most of North America
This species is unmistakable in the northern hemisphere due to its large spatulate bill. The breeding drake has an iridescent dark green head
This species is unmistakable in the northern hemisphere due to its large spatulate bill. The breeding drake has an iridescent dark green head
Northern shovelers feed by dabbling for plant food, often by swinging its bill from side to side and using the bill to strain food from the water. They use their highly specialized bill (from which their name is derived) to forage for aquatic invertebrates – a carnivorous diet.

Je vous promettais depuis quelques jours une belle série à venir...La voici, nous sommes en plein dedans.
Si je vous dis que ma couleur préférée est le marron, il est donc très facile pour vous de deviner qu'il s'agit de mon espèce de canard favorite.
Une ambiance et des couleurs qui se passe de tout commentaire... Pour moi, sans conteste le plus belle image de la série.

I'm not posting too much at the moment as I'm having a massive reorganisation of all my photos having just acquired an enclosure and some big (10TB) disk drives rather than the assorted external hard drives that have been failing me for many years. So far so good but I'm also taking the opportunity to consolidate and have a couple of copies of everything.
