Female Goosander (Mergus merganser) swimming on Bingham's Pond, Glasgow, taken by Joanna Lindsay. This duck has a sawtooth beak for gripping fish. It can be distinguished from a red-breasted merganser female by the sharp dividing line between the brown head and the white neck. In Mergansers, these colours merge.
