Ferruginous and other ducks

5th January 2008, Saturday

A good selection of ducks still on view today amongst the Pochard on the Long Pit. This is not part of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, but can be viewed from the public footpath. The photo below shows Ferruginous Duck (top right) and Scaup (bottom left).

8 photos of the Ferruginous Duck - it may not be 100%, the flanks show contrast to the breast, so hybrid with Pochard?
