Distribution: Widespread across England, parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Less common in Wales and south-west England but they can be seen here as their range expands during the winter. Nests of Northern Pintails are usually found in shallow hollows on the ground, close to a water source. They are made with grasses and feathers and serve as home to at least twelve eggs.

Nests of Hooded Mergansers are often found in tree cavities that are about ten to twenty feet above the ground. They are usually beside or close to a water source and lined only with down feathers. Females lay seven to fifteen eggs and will incubate them all at the same time after the last egg has been laid. The incubation period usually takes just over thirty days.

These females are well known for stealing other birds’ nests to lay thier own eggs in without doing any of the work. At first glance they appear to be a boring pale brown color but they have stunningly vibrant blue wings that are hidden away. You can find Buffleheads in small lakes and ponds with nearby poplar and aspen forests during the breeding season. In the winter, they move to protected coastal waters or shallow bays and inlets.Females are brown with a yellow streak along the tail. Both males and females have a green wing patch. These species winter in Britain in large numbers, with more birds present in years when the weather conditions elsewhere in Europe are particularly poor.
