A black duck with a white patch on the back of his head and on his forehead, and a large weird-looking black, white, and bright orange bill, and an orange leg partially out of the water, is swimming away from the camera but looking back at the photographer.
A stunning Surf Scoter shows off his flamboyant beak/bill and orange legs. They are one of my favourite ducks.
