He’s got his (red) eye on me! A male Common Pochard (Aythya ferina), at RSPB Ham Wall last month. Fewer than a thousand pairs of these omnivorous diving ducks breed in the UK, but the wintering population can be as high as 30,000 birds.

It is #TwoDuckTuesday, so here is a pair of pochard, who “helpfully" took it in turns to dive so I couldn’t get them both in frame and in focus at the same time… feel free to pick either of them as your #DuckOfTheDay, and I hope the sight of them cheers you - especially if you’re in pain right now.
It is not the same duck twice, I promise!

Wenn auf der Krickentenparty wiedermal dieser eine Tafelerpel antanzt, um dir zu erklären, dass es echt bald eng wird, weil der Tümpel gefriert, weil es nämlich nachts kälter als draußen ist.
