The common goldeneye /Bucephala clangula/

Adult males ranges from 45-52 cm. The species is aptly named for it's golden-yellow eye. Adult males have a dark head with a greenish gloss and a circular white patch below the eye, a dark back and a white neck and belly. Naturally, they nest in cavities in large trees. These diving birds forage underwater.

Great job with exposure of the two extreme colors. Very sharp especially for shutter speed of 1/320. Excellent pose. Ripples in water a nice effect. Good composition.
