| Eurasian Wigeon Mareca penelope (aka Anas penelope) |
||||
 |
The male Eurasian Wigeon has a chestnut brown head and a creamy-yellow forehead and crown as in the first photo. Largely vegetarian, wintering Eurasian Wigeon are often to be seen grazing on dry land. |

 |
Eurasian Wigeon breed in Scandinavia and northern Russia but winter further south in Europe, Asia and Africa. In Britain some birds are sedentary both breeding and wintering there but many more northern birds also winter there. See the distribution map at xeno-canto. | |||
