[BirdPhotoIndia] Red-crested Pochards

Species: Red-crested Pochard males
Place: Chupi Char of Purbasthali, Burdwan district, West Bengal India
Date: January 12, 2013

Observation: These birds were unusually bold for red-cresteds and refused to fly away despite the boat drifting slowly towards them. This shot is just a 25 per cent crop on a 400 mm lens. 

Unless something is done about clearing the lake of water hyacinths, these might well be the last of these beautiful ducks we see there.
