Ferruginous x Pochard hybrid - Brockholes Quarry, Lancs - 31st Oct 2007













Pochard sized and brownish flanks, tinged greyish, too contrasty with breast were indications enough to rule out pure Ferruginous. Wing-stripe not critically examined, but secondaries appeared wholly white. Poor light affected quality of videograbs.
