  • A nesting box for the Common Goldeneye, a medium-sized diving duck, on the banks of Lake Inari, Finnish Lapland. Like other waterfowl, the goldeneye has had an important role in providing nutrition for people of northern Finland. The birds naturally nest in a tree cavity but will readily use nestboxes and this used to be the traditional way of collecting eggs of waterfowl throughout Lapland. The custom was based on the fact that when you remove only some of the eggs from the nest, the female would lay more eggs to replace the lost ones. The eggs were traditionally cooked in hot ash and eaten hardboiled. Collecting Common Goldeneye eggs is no longer officially permitted.
