Help with ID - Ferruginous Duck / Female Tufted Duck? (3 Viewers)

[Nuthatcher_24]

Hi, this is one of the first photos I ever took so excuse the quality! My app says it’s a pair of Ferruginous Ducks however RSPB are telling me that around 10 are in the UK every year? I’ve read they can often be confused with a Female TuftedView attachment IMG_0342.JPG Duck? Any help would be appreciated as I’m very new to this hobby! Thanks

Hi, Nuthatcher_24 and welcome to the forum on behalf of the staff and moderators. I think you will find us a friendly and helpful group.
Not to worry, a lot of new members post an ID question here, we usually just move it to the ID forum. And I see you already have responses, and a verification of your ID.
