DUCK 9/15 - Eurasian Wigeon

This is another vagrant bird to Malaysia. Eurasian wigeons breed from Iceland, the British Isles, and Scandinavia east to eastern Siberia and Kamchatka, and south to northern Europe, central Russia and northern China. The majority of Eurasian Wigeons winter from Iceland, the British Isles, northern Europe, southern Russia and Japan south to the eastern Atlantic islands, Africa, Arabia, India, the Malay Peninsula, southern China, Formosa, and the Philippines.

The above photo taken in Arashiyama  Kyoto. A pair of the Wigeon leading another pair of Coot behind. Already in the late evening I did not take the effort to get better pictures did not know then it was malaysian lifer ....sign 

 Later got some more photos in Osaka using my  XF16-55mm for crying out loud as I left my telezoom at my guesthouse. There were many pairs around the moat of Osaka Castle. All heavily crop photos taken at a distance of 30 ft.
