Possible ♀Tufted Duck X ♂ Greater Scaup

            Taken at 'The Pool" Melbourne, South Derbyshire.
I have come across this bird/type before, at Thornton Reservoir in Leicestershire on the 26th April 2021, it only stayed a day, it wasn't there the following day when we looked for it again. 
You can imagine my surprise when walking back to the car I observed it getting out of the water following a male Tuftie. 
I took many shots of it (I only got two at Thornton) to provide evidence of ID. 
The Pool is around 9 miles away (as the duck flies) from Thornton, although they are in different Counties.
