Description
The Common Merganser or Goosander (Mergus merganser) is a large duck.Like the other mergansers, these fish-feeding ducks have serrated edges to their bills to help them grip their prey; they are therefore often known as "sawbills".
In this photo you see some female courtship display.

Creepywonderful. I'm not sure I've favorited so many pieces by one artist in one go, before. And all I'm looking at right now is your bird album!

what is that ? the beak looks like a seagull's but the colouring is so unfamiliar, and so is the stance... What is that???

I love this capture because it's not the usual duck pose. It's different, and the reflection of the water as well as the clarity of the details is beautiful.

What a perfect shot! Love the symmetry and how the moment is captured. I hope someday I'll be able to make something like this
