🦉 The Eurasian wigeon or European wigeon, also known as the widgeon or the wigeon (Mareca penelope)
- Mareca marreco (port) duck; Marica (Roman mythology) river nymph
- enelope Pēnělŏpē, in ancient Greek. mythology Odyssey's wife, mother Telemachus
I meet these ducks only when they fly past. I met them in mid-July on the river, and also on the seasonal lake. At this time, adult ducks teach young ducklings about life, so they fly everywhere. I also met them on a small lake at the end of September during the migration period.
As for their diet, they are mainly herbivorous. They eat various aquatic plants and their seeds, algae, bulbs, duckweed, etc. But in the summer, these ducks can add various mollusks, worms, and insects to their diet.
