Bufflehead duck in the Netherlands, video

This 27 November 2015 video was recorded at the Gaatkensplas lake near Barendrecht in the Netherlands.

Among common pochards and tufted ducks, a bufflehead duck swims there.

This North American species is rare in Europe.

The male duck returns to Barendrecht every winter since 2004. It is a mystery where he spends the summers.
