The Garganey is the only duck breeding in the UK that spends its winter in Africa. There are a lot of drake ducks that have a smart summer outfit, but in my opinion the Garganey is the tops. Below is a series that I took at the Restharrow Scrape today.
The North Italian name is garganello, an onomatopoeic name "garg" echoing the raucous call.
The water level on the scrape has dropped enough for a few inches of the depth post to be showing.

Lovely set of shots Tony. Makes me want to get out and see one for myself this weekend. Now, where have I hidden my bins?
Superb pics Tony, plus the pics of the peregrine recently, several of which were outstanding in my humble opinion.
