| male Red-breasted Merganser, Mergus serrator |
On Sunday morning blue skies appeared so I scurried off to
Widewater Lagoon to see the Red-breasted Mergansers which have attracted
attention among the birding community. Initially I had to be content with a
Dunlin, a Redshank, a lot of Little Grebes, Mute Swans and Mallards.
When I check out the eastern end I saw six Mergansers and several large lenses protruding from cars. There
were two males, three females and an immature bird. They moved near to the bank
on several occasions which allowed for good views of their fishing
activities and other behaviours.
