Oldsquaw or Long Tailed Duck

Looking forward to being able to get out and about with the camera during the Christmas holidays, weather permitting.

Hopefully i'll come across more gems like these Long Tailed Ducks, or Oldsquaws as they are sometimes called. In France they're known as, Harelde kakawi.

As for the weather, i'll settle for anything but rain............
