Goosey Goosey Goosander

I’m fascinated by Goosander. Just take a look at the ‘teeth’ on this beak.

They first bred in the UK in 1871 and there are now 14,500 birds here in the winter according to the RSPB.

This is one of them.

Will it be one of the 4,250-5,250 pairs which breed here, though?

I hope so.
