One of the male EUWI was in full alternate plumage while one of the others was in partial eclipse plumage showing a greenish eyestripe but no other hints of AMWI markings (it had light gray sides and upper parts, reddish breast). A third EUWI had been seen a short time earlier far to the west of the later two males. Thousands of ducks on the ponds, really looks impressive.
