Hide-a-duck

Out on the flooded peat working on Thursday, I was looking for abstract reed images when I came across this duck, hiding behind a clump.

It was very windy but the duck kept in cover for over 10 minutes and did not show itself to allow positive identification.

Definitely not an "Eider duck" though!
