Chuffed indeed! Well done!
The Red-crested Pochards are not considered to be feral in Switzerland. Large numbers move in from further east and the Lakes of Geneva and Neuchatel have very large wintering populations. Some breeding takes place as well.
By the way Lesser-spotted Eagle bred last year not too far from where you saw that bird recently.
