Tufted Duck
The Tufted Duck is a medium-sized diving duck. The male is black on the head, neck, breast and back and white on the flanks and it has a small crest and a yellow eye. The female is browner with a less obvious crest.
The Tufted Duck breeds on reservoirs, lakes and gravel pits and can be found in the UK across lowland areas of England, Scotland and Ireland but less commonly in Wales.
Numbers increase in the UK in winter due to birds arriving from Iceland and northern Europe.
