A very strange-looking duck was on the river behind the house today. First impressions suggested an eclipse drake Tufted Duck but a number of features weren't right (white ring around upper breast and white patch far back on the wings - nearly at the sides of the tail - being the most obvious). The head colour looked dark brown (in the very poor light). Final identity probably female Goldeneye.

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
