Sex, Age, Comment |
Male. Unmistakable and rather exquisite when you get to see it close by. I suspect that it is a second calendar bird because of the pale mottling where the rump ought to be completely black, and I also suspect that the grayish base to the bill has something to do with age. This bird paired with the female in 3363, and was a bit of a surprise to find them in the small pond next to Kalvebodhøj near Sydvestpynten. Not a place I would expect to find an 'exclusive' species like this. Less so because there are mallards in there too, and they probably prefer to have the pond for themselves. |
