This species makes its appearance in October, disperses 
over the country, resorting to lakes, pools, rivers, and estu- 
aries, and departs in April. It feeds on larvae, insects, and 
mollusca, sometimes small fishes and Crustacea. Although 
its flesh is dark coloured, and not well flavoured, it is often 
seen in the markets. The young and females are greatly 
more numerous, in proportion to the males, in the southern 
parts of Britain, and in the northern, flocks are sometimes 
seen composed entirely of males. In the arctic regions, 
where it breeds, the nest is said to be formed of grass and 
herbage, and placed on the ground, or sometimes in the ere- | 
vice of a rock, or the hole of a tree. The female plucks the 
down from her breast to cover the eggs, which are numerous, 
elliptical, smooth, and of a greenish tint.
