Netta rufina (Tr: Macar ördeği, En: Red crestes pochard):
The species is fully migratory or locally dispersive (e.g. in Europe) and breeds from mid-April to early-June in single pairs or loose groups. Males and non-breeders moult and become flightless for four weeks between June and August prior to which they may make extensive moult migrations which take them considerable distances from the breeding waters. Once this post-breeding moult is complete the species departs for its winter quarters, arriving there from October onwards3. The species is highly gregarious for most of the year and although it is more commonly found in small groups it often forms large concentrations, 5 of several hundred individuals5 in moulting and wintering areas.
It feeds diurnally, being most active during the early morning and evening. Habitat The species inhabits inland deep fresh or brackish1 reed-fringed lakes, rivers, or saline and alkaline lagoons in open country1, also occurring on estuaries, river deltas and other sheltered coastal habitats1 on passage or during the winter. Diet The diet of this species consists predominantly of the roots, seeds and vegetative parts of aquatic plants, although it will occasionally also take aquatic invertebrates, amphibians and small fish1. Breeding site The nest is constructed of roots, twigs and leaves near water, on the ground in dense vegetation or on floating mats of vegetation amidst reedbeds. Although the species usually breeds well-dispersed, neighbouring pairs may sometimes nest as close as 30 m apart. Management information A study in the Czech Republic found that fish ponds with a fish stock density of less than 400 kg ha, water transparency of more than 50 cm, mixed fish stocks rather than monospecific stocks, and systems that include ponds with fish fry are more likely to have high abundances of aquatic vegetation and are therefore more successful in supporting breeding pairs of this species.

Hi Mustafa,
I have seen crested pochards before (in captivity), but I have never seen one in flight. I did not even recognize it.
Beautiful action shot, very sharp.
Love the red eyes and beak.
