Priorslee lake - Red-crested Pochard

A drake Red-crested Pochard was been present at Priorslee lake for a few days now. Perfect for a walk around the lake to where it was feeding off  the north west bank... Posing nicely!

Or preening...

When not preening, it was diving to collect weed...

Tasty stuff!

A final series following a wing flap or two...

Smart, very popular bird, showing well in great light!
