[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another winter visitor, the American Wigeon, I really like the green on its head.

This dabbling duck is migratory and winters farther south than its breeding range, in Texas, Louisiana, and other areas of the Gulf Coast. It is a rare but regular vagrant to western Europe. It is highly gregarious outside of the breeding season and will form large flocks.

Hello Everton,
Another fine duck from your lake! The metallic green on its head is really striking and the plumage is beautiful. Excellent capture from a nice POV.
Many thanks, Ulla
