There are about 7,000 birds that winter in the uk. In Europe, they are localised and is around 90% of the population, in around 9 sites. Russia and Iceland are the place for them, around 120,000 birds
Love the duckies! Sorry I'm behind in your videos...been busy. I hope the Scaups numbers will increase. We certainly have made a mess of our world. We need to wake up NOW!!
One beautiful bird the Scaup duck is. I think all birds are beautiful. I couldn't tell you which one is my favorite after watching your videos. To many to chose from. Thank You so much Phil for the great video. Loved it.
The Female Scaup Duck is very interesting, Phill - thank you for this upload!:)
The other duck, the one with the white on the side of it's body, is the male I believe - correct me if I'm wrong, I'm using your videos to learn about this because you make the videos so beautifully!:)
That is exactly the kind of comment and response I like to see and read Robert. If only all the people would wake up and see what is really happening in the world with Nature. We are destroying everything and killing ourselves slowly in doing so. Thank you my friend.
I really doubt if we have the scaup in the Netherlands... Think not...
An other beautiful bird on the red list...
Long live human kind ! We really have to do something, or else we destroy our own world with all his amazing birds and animals... including ourselfs if we go on like this :o(
Great educational video again mate !
They're my favourite ! You Are A L..... !!!
Hahahaha... I save thát for net next who comments...LOL
I am not too good on duck ID but if there was a very small chance that it was in a lake i was filming at i would probably just pass it as something else and not film it. It sounds like my luck. Nice find Phil & a Lovely little bird
The same is true for so many birds Ger. Especially those of similar size and shape and coloring. If you didnt know the Scaup had a white face patch, you could assume its juat a tufted duck with a slightly lighter coloring.
How many of these scaup ducks are there estimated to be worldwide? With only 1-5 breeding pairs that's practically extinct!

Yes Robert it is the Male, but it is a male Tufted Duck and not a Scaup. Sadly, only the female is around at this time.
