Clangula hyemalis · Icelandic: Hávella
A deep-diving, noisily musical duck of highland lakes and winter coasts.
Habitat: Highland lakes in summer; coastal waters in winter | Season: All year
Dives deeper than almost any other duck, sometimes over 60 metres, to feed on molluscs. Yodelling call carries far across still water.
Its old nickname, the "sea pheasant," comes from its long tail and famously vocal, musical calling.
