	Diving duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These are gregarious ducks, mainly found on fresh water or on estuaries, though the Greater Scaup becomes marine during the northern winter.
		Diving ducks do not walk as well on land as the dabbling ducks; their legs tend to be placed further back on their bodies help propel them when underwater.
		Seaducks commonly found in coastal areas such as the Long-tailed Duck (formerly known in the US as Oldsquaw), scoters, goldeneyes and eiders are also sometimes colloquially referred to in North America as diving ducks because they also feed by diving.

	Ferruginous Duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ferruginous Duck (Aythya nyroca) is a medium-sized diving duck.
		These ducks breed in southern and eastern Europe and southern and western Asia.
		These are gregarious birds, forming large flocks in winter, often mixed with other diving ducks, such as Tufted Ducks and Pochards.

		Ferruginous Ducks have a widespread breeding distribution from western Europe to China and south to North Africa and Iran.
		As with other waterfowl in the Mediterranean and Middle East, the Ferruginous Duck appears to be particularly at risk because it breeds in areas inhabited by man. In contrast, most other European waterfowl breed in the safe haven of the arctic Russian tundra.
		Effective conservation of the Ferruginous Duck is hampered by their highly dispersed and fragmented distribution, and their habitat preference for dense, well-vegetated marshes.

		Ferruginous Ducks were studied from April to November 1998 at six of the most important breeding sites in Bulgaria: Mechka, Orsoya, Kalimok and Pazardgik fishponds, and Durankulak and Srebarna Lakes.
		Ferruginous Ducks during this study used similar feeding techniques as in previous studies in Bulgaria (Figure 5).
		Ferruginous Ducks were observed feeding on Ceratophyllum demersus (subsequently found to have Chironomidae larvae on the leaves) and Lemna sp., whilst a female was observed feeding on Asellus sp.

		The aims of the Group are to identify which Anseriformes taxa (ducks, geese, swans and screamers) are globally threatened; monitor their status; produce international action plans; and carry out and exchange information on conservation projects that address globally threatened Anseriformes.
		Current White-winged Duck projects include analysis and write-up of the field data, a genetic comparison of Sumatran versus Assam birds, generation of a predictive model of the impact of climate change on White-winged Ducks, and planning for regional White-winged Duck Action Plan workshops.
		The world population of the White-headed Duck was thought to number around 100,000 at the start of this century and, in the 1930s, over 50,000 birds wintered on the Caspian Sea off Turkmenistan.

	IN SEARCH OF THE FERRUGINOUS DUCK
		And although there were plenty of duck present, we could not find any Ferruginous among them.
		What we did see however were several coypu, introduced into the Delta a few years ago and regarded by some local ecologists as being of positive conservation benefit in the sense that their healthy appetite for reeds helps keep the canals and dykes clear of vegetation, thereby improving the circulation of water around the system.
		A few days after we got back, a friend rang to say that there was an unusual duck at Welney reserve, just a few miles down the road from where we live.

		One of these ducks was photographed at the Albufera de Valencia, the other at the Chiemsee, a lake in Bavaria.
		Mandarin does not produce any hybrids with any other duck species (due to chromosomal differences), therefore the Aix parent must be wood duck (hybrids known with most species of Anas and Aythya and also with ducks from other genera).
		Concerning the second bird, I would also suspect an Aix-diving duck Hybrid, but perhaps rather an Aix-Netta than Aix-Aythya, as the head pattern is suggesting something like that and Gilham and Gilham show a photograph of a hybrid Aix sponsa-Netta peposaca with a similar head pattern.
