Adult. ♂. Quite a few birds winter in the bay, but only on foggy days like today do they accidentally approach the coast as seen here. Only got this rear-end shot because I was biking along the dike, and only saw the bird when it passed me. The camera was in the bag in my front carrier, why I had to stop, pull the camera out, turn it on and extend the lens and point and focus. |

Adult. ♂. Basic plumage. Unmistakable and beautiful. Today it was the windy conditions rather than fog that made the birds approach land. |

♂. Dæmningen. Dead. Obviously. Decapitated but by whom is unknown. Not often you get to learn that the feet of the former oldsquaw are light metallic bluish-turquoise with a spray of blackiness added in. Frost Your Bird! Dead |

Adult. ♂. Basic plumage. An exclusive visitor in the harbor. Probably my best view ever of the species. It was just lying there, relaxing, ignoring me and the other human beings crawling all over the rocky pier close by. The tail was only raised for a few seconds. |
