Description
Scaup are diving ducks with a resemblance to tufted ducks. Males like this drake have black heads, shoulder and breast, white flanks, grey back and a black tail. Females are brown, with characteristic white patches around the base of the bill.
In flight they show white patches along the length of the trailing edge of the wing. One of the lovely features for me is the head which often appear to have a Blue sheen. And I will post some nice in-flight shots another time to show the white trailing wing edge.
Only a handful breed in the UK every year, making them our rarest breeding duck.
