A male of the species Mergus merganser, a migratory saw-billed duck. The males leave the UK at the end of the breeding season, with more or less all of them spending the summer moult in the area around Tanafjord in Norway, returning to the UK during the autumn. They are often seen on upland lakes and rivers.
