This is a new duck for me. Taken early Autumn last year at Sakata, Niigata. I walked around reeds to have a look at a hidden pool and there it was. I surprised it and just got the above shot, then the below flight shot as it took off. Sad to chop off its wings but happy with it otherwise.
Apparently they are known to birders as "Fudge Ducks", hence my title.
....and it suits the regret about chopping of the wings.
A week later I photographed the ratty looking Eurasian Teal at Fukushimagata. (see below)

Nice find, I only ever saw one before, in the UK on my 27th (!) birthday................almost 20 years ago now,
Hello Russel!:) I'm not a birder but I can see that the Fudge Duck was a great sighting, and your images are beautiful and sharp. The Teal is a pretty duck, even looking a bit worse for wear, it's a good capture.
Enjoy your day
Best Regards.
Delightful set of ducks!
Looks look like the Teal got the Trainee Hairdresser !
