The males are now changing from their eclipse plumage, when the flanks are dull brown, into their winter garb when the flanks become totally white and the distinctive tuft will get much longer. FAB.

Love those eyes
Frank I love those eyes but I also really like the dark brown heads and bodies. I seldom get images of such fantastic looking ducks like you do. I hope your weather gets better soon as I'm praying ours will. Way too rainy. Carol
