Lesser Scaup

Small Brown White-eyed duck swimming on a pond

A Lesser Scaup flaunting its belly in a graceful swim across the lake. The intricate patterns of water ripples embrace the bird's delicate dance, creating a visual symphony of nature's fluid elegance. The vibrant blue hues of the lake mirror the duck's striking plumage, encapsulating a moment of serene beauty in the avian world.

Mallards are water birds in which females are usually brown, but this female displays a high degree of leucism – it is nearly all white. In leucism, the pigmentation cells that develop from the neural crest are faulty. Similar conditions are (hypopigmentation), where the pigment cells fail only in parts, resulting in a piebald effect; and (albinism). An albino has a lack of only one pigment, melanin. As a result, the melanin layer inside the eye is missing, and albinos have pink 'bloodshot' eyes. The eyes of leucistic animals are pigmented normally, because the melanin within the eyes does not develop from the neural crest. This female is probably the offspring of an all-white mallard female that inhabited this same pond on Wandsworth Common, London.

This photograph captures a beautiful Lesser Scaup (Female) paddling about on a winter morning. Females are a rich brown overall with a darker head and a white patch next to their bill.
