Tufted duck The days grow longer and tomorrow is the first day of spring. Birds are resplendent in breeding plumage. Males show in bold, bright colour with females less colourful but with intricate plumage pattern. When courting birds swim together and roost close to each other that's an opportunity to identify females.
There are rafts of tufted ducks, predominantly males with black and white plumage and a panache, a long crest of dark feathers present in the breeding season. The female has a blue bill and a hint of a crest, her plumage is dark brown.
