🦆Common Goldeneye
Die Schellente (Bucephala clangula) ist eine holarktisch verbreitete Vogelart aus der Familie der Entenvögel (Anatidae). Ihr Verbreitungsgebiet ist die nördliche Nadelwaldzone. Die Kurzhalsigkeit und der relativ große Kopf geben der Art ein gedrungenes Erscheinungsbild. Die Schellente kommt in zwei Unterarten von Europa über Sibirien bis nach Amerika vor. Unter den Meerenten ist sie die Art, die sich am besten für die Gehegehaltung eignet. Sie wird deswegen verhältnismäßig häufig in Zoologischen Gärten gezeigt. Im Norden Mitteleuropas ist die Schellente ein verbreiteter, aber nicht häufiger Brut- und Sommer- und teilweise auch Jahresvogel. Sie ist außerdem ein häufiger Durchzügler und Wintergast.
