Russian: Красноносый нырок

German: Kolbenente

French: Nette rousse

Mongolian: Улаанхушуут биваан, Улаанхушуут шумбуур

Japanese: アカハシハジロ (Akahashi-hajiro)

Body length: 53-57 cm

Habitat: Breeds on fairly large, reed-fringed eutrophic lowland lakes and sea-bays, also on larger lagoons and saline marshes. Migratory only in north. Regular vagrant, especially in autumn and winter, to Britain, 10-50 records annually, and a few breed. Habits much as for dabbing ducks, upending and dabbling for food in shallow, richly vegetated waters. Vegetarian.

Identification: Rather large, with long, bulky body and large, rounded head. In all plumages, very conspicuous, broad white wing-bars.

  • Adult ♂ breeding: Rusty-orange head (palest on crown, but impression may vary depending on angle of light) and striking coral-red bill; breast, stern and centre of belly black, flanks white; swimming bird typically shows white narrow patch at side of mantle; upperparts plain brown. In flight, broad white wing-bars and peculiar white oval flank patches lined with black distinctive. Immediately told from ♂ Pochard by red bill and darker, brown back.
  • Adult ♀: General appearance like a large, pale ♀ Common Scoter, with off-white sides of head and foreneck and dark brown forehead, crown and hindneck; body plain brown, often diffusely patchy on flanks; bill dark grey with pink near tip. Eye brown.
  • Adult ♂ eclipse: Like adult ♀ but bill all red.
  • Juvenile: Like adult ♀ but bill all dark.
