In some Buddhist countries and the English County of Suffolk the Ruddy Shelduck is protected because its colour is said to resemble that of a monk's robes and the ginger beard of treasured birder Jonny Rankin.
During migration, Ruddy Shelduck have been recorded flying at heights of up to 6,800m in the Himalayas and up to 1m above sea level in Suffolk.
I have personally seen Ruddy Shelduck 4,170m up at Sela Pass, resting on Sela Lake and looking absolutely awesome.
My friendship group got wind that I had seen the Walberswick Ruddy Shelduck today and insisted I share a photo essay:
