Goosander (f)
Goosander / mergus merganser. Straws Bridge, Derbyshire. 02/12/2022.
A braver Goosander who frequented my local lake in early December, 2022. Here she had just popped up close to the bank after hunting for food underwater. She was one of seven birds present for a few days. The majority of these wary birds stayed in the centre of the lake, well away from passers-by.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.!
