What is it for a bird?

 

[Wiktoria]

Mayby Aythya fuligula?

 

[ody]

Sorry, Wiktoria. This time you are not right!
Try again!

 

[Wiktoria]

Aythya collaris? ||

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

Yep, looks like a Ring-necked Duck.

 

[JRE]

Are they rare in Greece?

 

[ody]

Aythya collaris , also not Wiktoria!
Jurij Hanžel,Ring-necked Duck is not.
Yes , this birds are not so common in Greece,Firecrest!
More ideas?

 

[JRE]

Tufted Duck?

 

[Andrew Whitehouse]

Hasn't Tufted Duck already been suggested? My guess is that this is a dark looking Greater Scaup Aythya marila. I don't think this is at all easy though.

 

[ody]

It is really not so easy.
This was one of the first shots I got.The bird was far away. I have some more.
I named the Thread " Field work ... hard work" .Isn't it?

Here comes a better pic!

 

[ody]

Oh, when I look better on this pic I have my doubts for my recognition!
I think Wiktoria and Firecrest are right with their tip, Or?
Here is one more pic!

Looking better in my field Guide I am now totally confused! :stuck:
I recognised this Duck as a Goldeneye. Now I must take this back.
I think thiw must be a confusion species Tufted Duck eclipse???? :storm:

 

[Andrew Whitehouse]

Definitely not a Goldeneye. It actually does look like a Tufted Duck. Quick tip: if you're doing a quiz, you need to be sure about your identifications, otherwise everyone will get confused.

 

[lou salomon]

it's a male tuftie, aythya fuligula. wiktoria was right.

 

[ody]

Definitely not a Goldeneye. It actually does look like a Tufted Duck. Quick tip: if you're doing a quiz, you need to be sure about your identifications, otherwise everyone will get confused.
