Goosander

we managed to visit Etherow country park at Compstall for an hour late this afternoon.

This female Goosander was spotted by DarkPeakBirder from long way off. I must say they are beautiful birds but rather shy and of course they are diving for food most of the time.

Other photos of Mute Swan, Mandarin ducks are on my Flickr photostream now. https://www.flickr.com/photos/vitalsparks/?details=1
