The smew is an uncommon winter visitor to the UK, where they're usually found on lakes, reservoirs and gravel pits. Late December into January tends to be when the highest number of these small ducks can be seen. The striking black and white males don't stray far from their continental breeding grounds, so most individuals seen here are either females or young birds, known as 'red-heads' thanks to the auburn feathers on their crown and nape. Smew have been spotted at Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve
