A male Goosander at Draycote Water in Warwickshire. This is a sawbill diving duck, about the same size as a Mallard. His breast and belly are creamy white, his back is black, and his head is black with a dark bottle green tinge. His red bill is long, sharp, and serrated, and his legs and feet are orangey red.

A Great Crested Grebe in winter plumage - maybe a juvenile bird - is swimming on a reservoir, strongly lit by low winter sun. The water is slightly choppy and there is a broken reflection of the bird below it.

More duck from the trip away. Draycote Water (Warwickshire) was a place at which I've spent a lot of time so it was nice to re-visit. Close up views of Goldeneye was a highlight. I like Goldeneye.
