The Eurasian Wigeon stray over this way in winter, the ones on our coast most likely from Iceland. |
These species do hybridize from time to time and those hybrids look like a pretty spot on mix of the two. |
A distinguishing feature of both wigeon males is the white/cream stripe down down the front of their face. |
Both species have similar feeding habits, plants are yummy! |
Happy to add this bird, #113 to my year list. |
