American Wigeon - Mareca americana - a photo on Flickriver

American Wigeon - Mareca americana

            My local nature reserve that I walk to most weekends had a visitor last year that was impossible to photograph as it kept out of range and when it left in the Spring that seemed to be it.

However he has returned this winter with the Eurasian Wigeon and was following 3 around never in the lead but always following.  Eventually they headed across towards the hide and I was able to get a series of photographs to record his visit.
