Observation details
One male in with ferruginous duck flock, picked out by Sarah Harris. Chestnut brown general colouration with pale patches in the flanks, and a distinctive white spot on the wings when closed making it easy to track when swimming amongst the flock. Head evenly rounded, once saw a glint of green but mainly looked black and a pale eye. Stood out from ferruginous ducks it was with. Diving regularly, and sitting low on water at times. Viewed from c 400m with 50x zoom on Swarovski ATS 65 HD scope. Good viewing conditions. All five observers are happy with the identification after extensive views and could see no indication that hybridisation is involved.
