I haven't got any good photos of the cool northern shoveler (Spatula clypeata) yet, but I still want to add this one to my collection.
It is a male on a very rare visit to Svalbard in the Arctic, almost two years ago. I see that there was a couple there last year as well.
Although I see shovelers every year, it is a rare duck in Norway. It is migratory, and arrives in April and migrates south in September-October.
Worldwide, it breeds in northern areas of Europe and throughout the Palearctic and across most of North America, It winters in southern Europe, northern Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. It is a rare vagrant to Australia.
