What birds or bird have you seen today – communal thread, I hope!

I think that a goosander and common merganser are the same bird.


Not really!
Both divers, the Goosander drake shown here has a straight bill
and a "hook" at the tip of it. The Merganser has a slightly upward
bill and no "hook".
 
Took a little walk along the River Forth today. We were accompanied by this Juvenile Mute swan and her parent.
Grabbed this little shot and well, I like it :D
