The ongoing cold seems to hold some of the species here that ususally would have moved on by now such as this Eurasian Wigeon.

Hi Jeroen, love the water falling off the wigeon from the bathing behaviour, and overall well exposed.

Love the way the water is falling right off the duck! The image looks sharp but I am not seeing as much details as I would normally like in the feathers. I wonder if this is b/c most of the duck is wet.
