Tufted Duck

The tufted duck is a medium-sized diving duck that breeds nearly throughout all of Europe.
Migrant populations of this species can even be found in Russia and across Siberia to China.

Its breeding habitat is close to marshes and lakes with plenty of vegetation to hide the nest.

My shot shows a female in the foreground and a male in the background.
