Garganey
23 Mar 2012
There is something very special about seeing a spring male Garganey. It's always exciting to find one (or more) of these scarce dabblers, and as our only summer-visiting duck, it is a certain sign of spring. They also sport exquisite breeding attire at this time of year - anything lacking in terms of colour is more than compensated for by an incredible range of intricate patterns - perfectly captured in this image by regular BirdTrack flickr pool contributor Jon Lowes. Now to find one myself...!
