1º inverno / 1st winter



In winter plumage shows a small barret of dark feathers, behind the eye, red thick beak and red feet. In spring and summer, the head becomes black creating a strong contrast with the red beak. It is a coastal species, locally abundant on the southern coast of the portuguese territory. Occurs mainly near the coast and in small estuaries but can also be seen in some large estuaries, although in smaller quantities. The best observation period runs from October to early March.
