While out earlier on another abortive Waxwing hunt I stopped by one of by favourite haunts , the ponds of Bushy Park. , and saw this (forefront) bird.
At first sight it looked like a male Tufted , shown behind for comparison. The bird is bigger than the Tufted and has only a small tuft on the back of its head. The top part of its head is a lovely chestnut colour and the lower part of the head looks greenish (as does the rump) in a more favourable light.
Unfortunately most of the time the light and certain other conditions were far from favourable , but as I stood there in the biting wind hoping for a better picture a male Shoveller came down on the water nearby. As I cycled away a Green Woodpecker joined me for a brief period.
All in all a pleasant experience.
