Shoveler

(anas clypeata)
The Shoveler or Northern Shoveler is fairly common and widespread in Scotland especially in winter. The winter birds are likely to be northern migrants whilst our summer birds will have themselves headed to southern Britain.It does seem to favour certain locations, being ever present on certain ponds but never seen on another apparently similar pond close by. It is unmistakable with its broad heavy bill. It is an uncommon breeding bird in Scotland - in the Clyde area there are usually only 2 or 3 pairs.
