Seymouraves's Avatar

I was reading something Seymour posted this evening, when my dad looked over my shoulder and said, "nice duck."

I replied confidently, "Oh, that's a Goldeneye."

Then I looked again, and thought maybe it wasn't a Goldeneye, since it doesn't seem to have (er...) a golden eye.

Then I thought maybe it was a funny looking Tufty.

Then I remembered it belonged to Seymouraves, and it could just as well be a lesser-spotted Macedonian duck-faced warbler (last seen in Britain in 1964, in an obscure bit of Norfolk).

Then I just felt really stupid.

Please could somebody put me out of my misery (maybe even Seymour, if you haven't gone to Greece yet)?

P.S. Naturally my dad lost interest shortly after "nice duck" - he's more of an internet dating sort of guy!
