The smew is a small sawbill, a group of ducks named for their serrated bills. They're diving ducks, which spend a lot of time under the water hunting for food - mostly aquatic insects in summer and small fish in winter.

 

Smews are winter visitors to the UK, with most birds not arriving until at least December and leaving again by the middle of March. They spend the summer in the taiga forests of northern Scandinavia and Russia, where they nest around lakes, ponds, rivers and other water-logged places with lots of trees. The females lay their eggs in holes high up tree trunks, lining their nest with soft down feathers. They often use old cavities excavated by black woodpeckers, though they'll happily use large nest boxes instead. The ducklings will jump down to the ground at just a day or two old and make their way to the nearest water.

 

Outside of the breeding season, smews can sometimes form large flocks but are usually found in small groups. In the UK, most sightings of smews involve single birds, or very small groups. The best place to look for a smew is on a lake, reservoir or gravel pit; often places that hold wintering goldeneyes can also attract a smew. Some sites reliably host a smew or two, or even a small flock, every year. Most of the smews that make it to the UK are females or young bird, as the adult males tend to stay closer to their breeding grounds.

I went to Denise Ippolito’s Blog for a little inspiration.

I have purchased her training in the past. Picked up a good technique there. Arraigned mine a little different.
