Every year in late October, several pairs of American Wigeons stop here on their migration south. You can almost tell the date by these birds. I took quite a few photographs of them and will feature more over the coming months.
Ducks have very interesting colours and patterns. The bills and feet on some are giveaways to their identity, or at least they narrow down the possibilities. Nice photo.

I enjoy the space you have left in this photograph for the widgeon to swim around in.

Thank you. The reflections in the water were an important element of the photo, I did very little cropping.

There feeding habits are good clues too, ie. dabblers or divers. Thanks, Anneli.
