Length:
 Cavities in large trees.
Crustaceans, Molluscs fish eggs, Insects and aquatic plants.
They are migratory and most winter in protected
coastal waters or open inland waters at more
temperate latitudes. They will readily use
nestboxes, and this has enabled a healthy breeding
population to establish in Scotland where they are
increasing and slowly spreading with the help of nestboxes.
Adult males have a dark head with a greenish gloss and a circular white patch below the eye, a dark back and a white neck and belly. Adult females have a brown head and a mostly grey body.
Males 45-52 cm.
Females 43-50 cm.
