  3. Hi Bob,
    Wonderful images of the female Goosander, such a beautiful bird. I have personally only seen the males so far this year, I live in hope of getting a pair together.
    All the best, John

  4. I love Mergansers! We have a few, but rarely see them. Thanks for these, and for the Frank Turner cut---he's new to me.

  12. Hi Bob. You did extremely well getting those images in bad light conditions - congratulations! Strangely, I saw three Goosander in Scotland last week and they were all female too! With my very best wishes - - - Richard
