Male Goldeneye Duck - Bucephala clangula

            A stunning bulky short-necked looking diving duck with a high-peaked head and triangular bill. An active duck but wary which spends most of the time on the water repeatedly diving for food.  Flocks of goldeneye's are often made up of females and immatures with adult males joining in the spring. Where as the male has a bold white spot and a green glossed black head and black marks on a white body the female differs by having a dark brown head with a white collar and  a grey body.
