Nice looking bird for sure, but what a weird name. Sounds like another bird
with a not so good reputation in some places.

Yeah the Euro duck we call it!LOL
A few make it over here, pretty rare. I saw a couple in Beacon Hill park in Victoria a few years ago.
When I works, I works hard; when I sits, I sits loose; and when I thinks, I falls asleep.
thanks for your infomation,I am glad to know it!Originally Posted by Marc

We see them every year at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria. In fact, I saw one yesterday. They migrate our way from western Siberia and are an uncommon visitor to out coast. It's a great birdfor a mount. The females look virtually the same as the female widgeons that we normally shoot. I hope to shoot one one day.

We've got a pile of widgeon on this coast compared to the east. I was looking at some this afternoon but no Euro's that I could tell.
