A beautiful male, indeed. It was only here for 1 day. Thanx to Ms. N. I got to see it.
On the 9th I visited those places that I missed the previous day. There was a female Ferruginous Duck - again this year! Way at the back of course. A decent photo is barely possible. So much stuff floating around as well. This is what I managed:
There were 2 males, very reluctant to come close.
At the usual corner I jumped over the ditch... and missed. Spread out like an eagle I lay in the grass for a minute. The sun was warm and it all felt like summer, but I knew this was the last time for me to jump that ditch. At least with camera gear in my hands. 😅😎😅
Thanx to Mr. H: possibly Hybrid Common Pochard and Bear's Pochard
It's a whole lot of small stuff, nothing unusual, except for the Ferruginous duck maybe. And the Smews.

It finally has become cold. People stay inside in their warm rooms. Birds fly and seem to enjoy it. Me, I hang in there somewhere in between.
On this dark grey day I went out and had a good time bird-watching, but my photos are the pits 😒😒😒😒😒 I had to call on the photo doctor to create this image that singels out the Ferruginous Duck, メジロガモ so you can actually see it:
Normally it would look like this
Other birds that could be counted for: Eastern Buzzard, ノスリ
A pretty female Kestrel, チョウゲンボウ
