Smew female - Mergus albellus

Photographed at Slimbridge WWT, in captive. It comes from Scandinavia and Russia, and comes from here when the winter it is too cold.

Please look at my website bobswildlife.co.uk. There is a photo of a Black-tailed Godwit, and  the Southern Pochard by Callum in the 'Guest photographer'


 Hey, that man is pointed to me, not your big head.

  11. She's beautiful. That rich brown color on her head is gorgeous, especially colorful for the female of the species! I can't remember what the male looks like ...must search.

  20. Hi Bob super images of the female Smew, we get them at Rutland in the Winter. The Male is a real stunner, not that I'm looking forward to seeing them, rather have the Summer. All the best, John
