Bufflehead?

[welshwizard645]

Doesn't appear in the WWT guide nor on the RSPB site, yet it's a bird that originates from North America - seen at London WWT.

Would've tried to take better if I'd known how 'unusual' it is but I tend to avoid ducks when I am there...

So Bufflehead or another case of mistaken identity?

Thanks

Peter

PS I have tweeted London WWT. but my tweets are mostly ignored by everyone.

Yup and referenced here from 2011 as well as at WWT Barnes

Ta chaps, as I said I'm never bothered by Ducks and just trying to get used to the D500/200-500 combo so as far as I am concerned it's very nice to get something that is to me 'unusual'

I've been to WWT London (Barnes) several times a year since 2006 so I am going to have to go through and see whether I've seen it before.
