Not common here. How I would love to have a long chat with those who name birds...
I have seen the common goldeneye at a distance, but not close enough to get a good pic. Nice shots!
It's like she dipped her beak in a mustard pot! :-) They are lovely, male and female!
Such a pretty duck. I sort of hate when the word ‘common’ is used in the name (I understand, but still hate)...it would be rare and wonderful for me to see this beauty!
Splendid birds! I saw my first ever on of these on a geography fieldwork day when I was at university. Which was a rather long time ago!

it is a beautiful duck. It comes to my place too :)
Nice to see you posting :) Your question: Kricka is the Swedish name of the Teal :)
This species is very common on the Great Lakes during the winter, but there is nary a one around right now.
