Wigeon

The wigeon is another dabbling duck. According to the RSPB, some breed in the UK, but there are many more winter visitors. We were lucky to see a fair number at WWT Martin Mere at end October, the attraction probably being that winter feeding had begun.

A web browse shows wigeon to be more colourful in summer, but these are still attractive birds.
