That looks like the Scaup that as been at the resaerve for nearly a week now.

A female Tufted Duck unfortunately. Perhaps its tucking into one of those invading crayfish?

Just getting to grips with a recent new lens purchase - still lots to learn....caught this cheeky little goldfinch on a thistle head on the Moors Pool yesterday.
*not sure how to upload larger quality/resolution images on to site if anyone can assist (keeps saying upload failed...)

The maximum size upload is about 493Kb (it does tell you the maximum size when you open the manage attachments tab). The maximum width is 1600 and the maximum height is 1200.

I use Adobe Elements to convert my pics to a size that can be uploaded onto the forum. It has a simple menu that allows you to 'save for web' i just make that image fit the maximum values (Kb and size).

I hope this helps
