Not the best photo, but it does show this male's crest quite well. He was hopping about down at Lackford Lakes last week in pretty poor light, but his crest.... well I'd never seen one like that before.

He's certainly showing it off to full effect - looks a bit threatening too .... Well captured.

Thank you for your comments Waxcap, Ben, Toby and Ray. I suspect he was trying to impress a lady
