This is what a Goldeneye should look like. This photo was taken at Rutland water last year. The other day I spotted some very distant black headed ducks in the very middle of King Lears Lake at Watermead. One quick peak through the binoculars confirmed that they were Goldeneyes. I couldn't get any closer than this, so I will have to show you some better shots from Rutland Water that I got last year.
This video starts with me watching a pear of Great Crested Grebes and then via a rapid pan of astonishment to a duck that stays mostly underwater, but pops up now and then. That is the Goldeneye.
