Red-crested pochard @ WWT London by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: A frozen but beautiful Sunday morning at WWT at Barnes..the light was so beautiful and the reserve looked so beautiful under the blue winter sky...Larger than a Pochard, the male has an orange-brown head with a red beak and pale flanks (lower sides). Females are brown with pale cheeks. In flight, they show whitish underwings. They dive, dabble and up-end for their food. There is a large population in Spain but smaller numbers in France, Netherlands and Germany. Occasional wild birds may come to the UK from the Continent. The UK breeding birds almost certainly all come from escaped birds.

This one's not a native bird, but one of the permanent residents at the London Wetlands Centre. They always look so dramatic when you catch them in the middle of washing themselves.
