A notable feature of the Barrow's goldeneye male seen at LaSalle Park yesterday was its agressive mating display shown towards Common goldeneye females - a display including neck-stretching, head-bobbing and tight circling of the female : noticeably different in detail from that of the Common - but I saw no response from the females so I suppose they were wise to him?
LaSalle Park and small boat harbour lies at the foot of LaSalle Park Rd which runs south off North Shore Boulevard in Hamilton. The bird was seen in the waters to the right of the boatyard, close inshore
