I had the pleasure to have this female Red-Breasted Merganser come really close to me yesterday, less than 10 yards away :). She was pretty relaxed and focussed on hunting by snorkelling along the surface. I took plenty of typical images of the bird and then found this one as she was snorkelling directly towards me. Slightly bizarre but I love it, but I realise it is either a love it or hate it type of image

Fascinating outline of its head, as you say bizarre. Nice one
