Davy Holt Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hiya, it's a drake Goldeneye, on the Barrows Golden eye the eye spot is much larger and more of a inverted comma shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENGRASS Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thanks for all the feedback. I can confirm it's a "Common Goldeneye". It's that common I had never seen one :lol: GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
