The sexes are alike in plumage. 
Temminck informs us, that the young 
at the age of two years have the throat 
and cheeks white ; the top of the neck of 
a yellowish white ; upon these parts there 
are brown and dusky bars placed in zig- 
zags ; the top and back of the head black, 
but without any lengthened feathers upon 
this latter part ; the lower part of the 
neck and top of the breast of a dull red 
mixed with brown ; some feathers upon 
the breast and belly terminated by ash- 
colour; base of the beak of a livid yel- 
low ; irides reddish yellow ; lays three or 
four eggs, of a whitish green, with yel- 
lowish or brown stains. 
This species is said to inhabit Denmark 
and Norway ; it is also found on the bor- 
ders of the Caspian Sea, and migrates into 
England in the winter months.
