The '''tufted duck''' (or '''tufted pochard''') ('''''Aythya fuligula''''') is a small [[diving duck]] with a population of nearly one million birds, found in northern Eurasia. They are partially migratory. The scientific name is derived from [[Ancient Greek]] {{Transliteration|grc|aithuia}}, an unidentified [[seabird]] mentioned by authors such as [[Hesychius of Miletus|Hesychius]] and [[Aristotle]], and [[Latin]] {{Lang|la|fuligo}} 'soot' and ''{{Lang|la|gula}}'' 'throat'. It is a [[Game (hunting)|game bird]]. <ref>{{cite web|title=Tufted Duck ''Aythya fuligula''|url=https://luontoportti.com/en/t/731/tufted-duck |website=NatureGate}}</ref>
