The Common Merganser (Mergus merganser) is a large diving duck that lives in rivers, lakes and saltwater in the forested areas of Europe, northern and central Asia, and North America. It has a serrated bill that helps it grip its prey which are mostly fish. In addition, it eats mollusks, crustaceans, worms and larvae. The common merganser builds its nest in tree cavities. The species is a permanent resident where the waters remain open in winter and migrates away from areas where the water freezes. This female common merganser in breeding plumage was photographed while swimming at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

$A pretty and distinctive little waterbird, the mandarin duck was introduced from the Far East as its name suggests. Oddly for a duck, it nests in trees, sometimes high above the water.\n\nIt can still be found in China, Japan, Korea and parts of Russia. It escaped, or was deliberately released, from captivity in the UK. Mandarin ducks are actually quite shy birds, often hiding beneath overhanging willows and usually only forming small flocks.$

$L 40-47cm, WS 65-72cm.\nVersatile in choice of breeding habitat, therefore common: open, clear, oligotrophic lakes in forested areas and polders; densely vegetated, eutrophic lowland lakes and marshes; along seashores; on tundra pools; slow flowing rivers; reservoirs; park lakes etc.\nMostly migratory and in lower numbers resident bird.\nGregarious when not breeding, forming large dense flocks. much t be seen in the Boundary Lakes of the IJsselmeerpolders in the Netherlands.$
