Common Shelduck (Tadorna tadorna). An animal that loves to be upside down.

the common shelduck is a migratory duck largely found in eurosiberia. males and females look similar, but males have sharper coloration and lack white markings on the face that are present in females. the species primarily feeds on small invertebrates such as crabs and grasses. during the breeding season, the species is largely found around lakes and rivers; their nests are often made in unusual locations such as rabbit burrows and haystacks.
