There are only 20-30 breeding males in UK. Most of the breeding pairs in UK can be found in summer, on the remote island of Fetlar in the Shetland islands off the North East coast of Scotland. They come to the small Lock of Funzie, where this photograph was taken, to breed in Summer and are surprisingly tame. They are very willing to show themselves and come close to visitors either at the water's edge or on the grass that edges the loch. The duller coloured male looks after the eggs and young after laying. As a rare UK breeding species it is a Red List bird.
