Observation details
A small duck, first seen by myself. It was noticeably smaller than the Tufted Ducks with which it was associating. It had a very small, blue/grey bill with a black tip. A dark eye, isolated in a predominately white face, with a dark crown and a circular dark cheek patch. The upperparts appeared to be all dark. The neck and chest was a pale brownish colour and the underparts pure white. The bird had a short, black tail which it held slightly upwardly pointing. It was not seen by me to fly or to raise its wings. Photo from Paul Gerard.
