Observation details
*Very rare. Only one previous eBird record for Essex County (10-30 April 2016, CPSHS, A. Belford, S. Robinson & G. Chapin). This stunning adult male was seen in the company of a small flock of Common Goldeneye. Unmistakable in this striking plumage. Relatively small duck, slightly smaller than the Common Goldeneye with striking white markings on head and sides contrasting with a mostly dark slate blue body. Bold, reddish rusty flanks and a relatively short bill. Record images attached.
