Hi Jon. Nice record with the Merganser - was it a female type or a male?

Yes it was nice to see Peri, the main thing that drawn attention to it was the goosanders kept chasing it away from them.

Adult female i'd go for but Juv/fem is possible.

The juv/fem Scaup was on the Mill pool today... at the river/bridge end.
