Goosander

(mergus merganser)
The Goosander (or Common Merganser) is an elegant diving bird, a member of the sawbill family. In Scotland it is a widespread species being found in inland lochs and rivers as well as coastal locations. It is normally quite nervous and flighty but in locations where birds are often fed they can become quite habituated and approachable. Hogganfield Loch in Glasgow is one such place where you can get to within a couple of feet of the birds. Unusually the Goosanders here will readily take bread.
