Sex, Age, Comment | Adult male in transition to breeding plumage, still lacking the green nape and the pure salmon colored chest. Resting inside the harbor next to the Mallards (that are being fed) is a bit unusual, and the way the breast seems to protrude extraordinarily, could indicate that something is wrong. A too full stomach might be a reason as well, guessing it preferred this sheltered spot on a day with a good wind swiping the sea outside. | ||||||||||||
