This duck was the reason why I went to Båtsfjord, Varanger, Norway. I wanted to see this pearl among birds for a long time and when the opportunity came I could not miss it. This bird was really a curious one. It could swim close to the openings in the hide and take look at us. Especially the males. It did not let me down for a minute.
