(formerly Anas falcata)
An Asian species which certainly could and probably does occasionally turn up in the UK as a genuine vagrant. It is also a popular species in wildfowl collections and escaped birds also turn up, making it difficult to be sure about the origin of any seen in the wild.
The photos below are all captive birds.
