	Pockard Pochard - LoveToKnow 1911
		The American Pochard is slightly larger, has yellow eyes, and is now regarded as specifically distinct under the name of Nyroca americana; but America has a perfectly distinct though allied species in the celebrated canvas-back duck, N.
		The Pochard and Dunbird in Europe are in much request for the table (as the German name of the species, Tafelente, testifies) when they frequent fresh-water; birds killed on the seacoast are so rank as to be almost worthless.
		Among other species nearly allied to the Pochard that frequent the northern hemisphere may be mentioned the Scaup-Duck, Fuligula manila, with its American representative F.

		The Pochard is shy in its behaviour and prefers to stay a good distance away from the water margins.
		Pochard mainly feed in freshwater most of their food being obtained by diving although they will occasionally "dabble" in the shallows, their chosen feeding locations are usually between 3' and 8' in depth, the main foodstuff is Stonewort but various seeds and animal matter are also eaten.
		The Pochard is resident in Britain all year round with the greatest concentrations on the eastern side.

		The Pochard emigrates long distances with its main breeding grounds being in the Baltic countries and into Russia.
		Pochard and other species ringed at Lake Engure have been recovered from a number of UK wintering sites, including the Lough Beg and Lough Neagh wetland complex in Northern Ireland where, in 1999, the WHT in partnership with the Environment and Heritage Service, established the Lough Beg National Nature Reserve.

		If not already extinct, the Madagascar Pochard may well be restricted to a single locality on the northern Central Plateau of Madagascar - Lake Alaotra - where the last confirmed sighting was made in 1991.
		A drake captured by local people was kept in captivity for a year before it died.
		The pochard was thought to be common on Lake Alaotra in the 1930s, but the lake is now being degraded by rice cultivation, siltation, pesticide run-off, the burning of marsh vegetation (particularly papyrus), and the introduction of many alien plants and fish.

	Pochard (Aythya ferina) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)

		The Pochard is present throughout the year in central and north-west Europe but more northerly breeding populations in Europe and Asia winter in southern Europe, Africa, India, southeast Asia and Japan.
		Valerie Thom mentions the fascinating decline and fall of the wintering Pochard flock at Duddingston Loch, Edinburgh.

	B-Mail(sm): ID-FRONTIERS for April 6-12, 2003
		In the photos of Pochard I checked, one bird has a small dark spot in fromt of the eye and all the others seemed to lack any dark around this region.
		The head shape of the rear bird in the upper photograph is decidedly odd for either Pochard (lack of concavity in the line from crown to bill) or Canvasback (line from crown to bill too steep), but head shape is, in my experience, very difficult to get exactly right in a photograph.
		The nearer bird and the one (presumably the same) shown in the lower photograph is fine for Pochard.

	Common Pochard Aythya ferina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		One of the two of West Coast records of Common Pochard away from western Alaska was a male that returned for three winters (with one-winter intervals of absence between visits) associating with a mixed flock including Redheads at an inland lake.
		A Common Pochard arriving in western Alaska might team up with Alaskan Redheads - some of which may annually join the Prairie population in Texas.
		Alternatively such a Pochard might travel to the West Coast with the (presumed) bulk of the Alaskan Redheads, but mix with Prairie birds there, and follow them back across the Rockies for the summer, thence to Texas in the winter.

	Harteman Wildfowl - Baer's pochard - Aythya baeri
		The Baer’s Pochard is currently listed as Vulnerable (A2c,d; A3c,d) because it is undergoing rapid declines.
		Much of its breeding range has suffered prolonged draughtOn visits to Manchuria in search of Jankowski's Bunting in October 2003 and May 2004 it was evident that little remained of the formerly extensive wetlands in the reserve we visited.
		Despite a great increase in observer activity here over the past few years (with now several records annually of Red-crested Pochard and three records of Ferruginous Duck in the past 4 winters for example), there has been no corresponding rise in observations of Baer's, rather the species is now barely recorded annually.

		Together with Ben Hoare, I arrived to inspect the bird and immediately realised that it was probably a Southern Pochard Netta erythrophthalma, which I was familiar with from East Africa, but was only able to confirm the identification when I reached home later that day.
		Given the significant number of wetland Afrotropical species recorded within the Israeli part of the Rift Valley (Shirihai 1996, 1999), the appearance of Southern Pochard is not especially surprising.
