What you looking at?
|
Male Tufties coming out of eclipse shouldn't show any white on the face (unless its moulting from juv plumage).... Ok, time to through a spanner in the works, Tufted X Ring-necked Duck me thinks.....
EDIT: On second thoughts, the white on the face is the wrong shape for RN Duck, and the neck collar wouldn't be that pale either... maybe it is just a young male Tufted. Last edited by Steve Waite : Saturday 3rd November 2007 at 17:16. |
