Sex, Age, Comment |
Likely 2cy male in eclipse plumage. This by the overall dark plumage and the well-developed sail-shaped scapulars. However, males in eclipse plumage are in general very variable, and probably not always possible to age based on photos like these. Only saw the bird sitting on the water. The subspecies is the one expected in Denmark, but is also supported by the delicate detail of the bill-feathering overlapping the nostril markedly. The bird was alone. |
