I've rearrange chunks of the text and added section headings to get the article under control. But the article still needs more work; particularly:

  • the "Habits and Habitat" section is a mess
  • the "Range" section is _ridiculously_ UK-specific for a duck with such a wide, mostly Asian range; this needs a complete rewrite
  • the writing generally is not great (an artifact of its piece-by-piece writing history)

Anyway, I'm off to update my Life List... ArzelaAscoli 21:35, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot to add: pictures of the female and eclipse plumages might be nice - I don't know what the standard is for birds though. ArzelaAscoli 21:36, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
