Goldeneyes, ホオジロガモ

I went to see the pretty Goldeneye ducks in the river near my home. There were 5 males and 2 females scattered over the middle of the estuary. I waited and tried to get close. On my bicycle it was easy to move around, but it was hard work! The weather was fair, with intermittent cloud cover.


 Goldeneye, ホオジロガモ





Display?







Just when I found the right spot, a raptor came close and all ducks took to flight.










I found them again on the opposite side, close to the Greater Scaups, スズガモ



2 females were way back, hardly ever coming close to the shore



A little later with a little sunshine



And a little green on the head
