These are nervous birds, quick to take alarm. Their flight is fast, irregular, with many twist and turns. In a bunched flock, their movements have been compared to those of pigeons.
When open water is handy, wigeons often raft up offshore until late afternoon when they move to marshes and ponds to feed.
The white belly and forewing are very showy in the air.

I'm not sure I have ever seen one... Never had an interest in bird watching.
