Subspecies: [?]
Adult bird. In the same days someone reported an Icelandic bird from here, which might be the this same individual. It did look rather intense in colors and the bill looks short and probably the legs too, but I did not pay enough attention to details when we saw it. However looking at general photos of the species I'm not sure that a bird like this could not be of the nominate subspecies, thus the common one for this area.

Two birds present, probably a pair. With 3967. And this one likely to be the male, seeming smaller, darker and with shorter bill.

With Eurasian Coot and Green-winged Teal (crecca).
