| Northern Shovelers (Anas clypeata) swim in the Kalochori lagoon, Thessaloniki. The birds have distinctively large, spatula-shaped bills and exhibit a striking plumage with iridescent green heads, white chests, and chestnut sides. A female, generally duller in color, accompanies the group. The lagoon's subtle ripples indicate calm water, providing an optimal foraging habitat for the ducks as they float and sift through the water for food. Sparse vegetation is visible on the periphery. |
