Aythya diving ducks are very much underrated in my opinion, they're all really nice birds, with the drake ring-necked duck currently touring St Helens a perfect case in point. So is this drake Ferruginous duck which turned up on the Oxbow by the bridge to number 3 bed at Woolston Eyes today. It's assumed to be the same bird which was present last spring when it was accompanied by a female. My first ever Ferruginous duck was at Woolston Eyes in November 1984.
