ROSKILDE FJORD

Pintail

(Anas acuta).

In the mid 1980s the first breeding Pintails were seen, mainly on Eskilsø, where they have bred more or less continually ever since, albeit in varying numbers (fewer than 10 pairs). The October population has been growing since the early 1990s, but most years there have been fewer than 50 birds. It is unusual to see them in January.
