    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Thank you Babs and Rolf.
    Wigeons are lovely little ducks That whistle. The male has a moheakon type hair style . A blond stripe from front to back of his head And the drop in to the estuary by the hundreds.
    Oh and the males have lovely slate blur beaks it is the male that whistles
