With a slight grayish cast to the flank, a reminiscent of the eclipse plumage. Most males look liked this today.

Hejresøen.
I'm pretty sure this is not a pure Tufted Duck, since I've never seen a bird with such a bright and speckled chest before. Will look into it...

Birkedammen.

Frost has arrived, and the lakes are frozen. Except where ducks maintains an opening. I estimated some 4000 had gathered here this day (less in the photo). Also a fair number of Common Pochards are blended in.

Female.
Two birds visiting the inner harbor. The light sensibility seems to be different the two between, with different pupil sizes under same light conditions.
