Goldeneye





Goldeneye (male), Sorlampi nature trail 11.4.2015.

Some birds winter in Finland, but most leave
between September and November for southern parts
of the Baltic Sea, the North Sea or Central and
Southern Europe. Thrives well in harsh conditions.
Among the first migratory birds to return to
Finland in March–April. (NatureGate)

I'm linking to I'd Rather B Birdin'.

      Thank you, Stewart! They're pretty ducks. I saw several yesterday, but this was the only one close enough to get shots of.

    Upeita kuvia telkästä. Heidän soidinmenoja on tosi mukava seurata näin keväällä.

      Kiitos, Katinka! Näin vain uroksia järvellä. Ovatkohan naaraat jo hautomassa?

    All of our wintering Goldeneyes have now left Gunilla. They should be back with you now. I would love to see them in their summer surroundings.

    On se hauskannäköinen lintu!
    Huomasin tänään ensimmäistä kertaa tänä keväänä laulujoutsenparin järvellä... siis järven jäällä. :)
    Ihanaa kevättä!

    Yes they turn up here during that period, but are vary wary and difficult to get close to Gunilla.

    Telkät ovat kivoja kuvauskohteita, ne ovat aika toimeliaita näin keväisin. :)

    What a beautiful duck, I like the shape of his head, the white spot on the head, and the contrast of the white and black with apparently orange-red legs. The ripple patterns on the water are fascinating, too.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I will return your visit (if I haven't visited you already), but please be patient. I might not be able to do so until the weekend. Take care!
