The lesser scaup might not be the flashiest bird on the water, but spend a moment with one and its quiet charm soon wins you over. The male's glossy purple-sheened head, crisp white flanks and bright yellow eye give it a subtle elegance that rewards a closer look.
Lesser scaups are diving ducks at heart, disappearing beneath the surface with effortless ease in search of aquatic plants and small invertebrates. They are sociable birds too, gathering in large flocks on lakes and bays during winter, creating one of nature's most peaceful and unhurried spectacles.
By bringing this print into your home, you celebrate one of the waterworld's most quietly captivating characters. 5% of all sales from this open edition go directly to BirdLife International, supporting birds and their homes across the globe.
