Habitat
Reservoir edge
Location
Rutland Water, England
Equipment used

Cheers :)

To be honest, I've only seen the ruddy shelducks a few times, this one took a fair amount of stalking, they're pretty jumpy, took me ages before he was comfortable with my presence, probably about half an hour.

I know exactly where to go to see the normal shelducks every time though!
