Goosander(f)(Merganso Grande)

Beautiful series as usual, Antonio.

I remeber eating roasted chestnuts next to lake Lucerne. i also remember eating a salad that was really very tasty.

@And as you will se when i put the photos it's the usual species confusion,with conflits,etc...and in a super developed country,switzerland is a model of protection and care about all aspects of human versus nature problems,but even so people ignore all the warning advertizing that i se in the lake's that i visited
@Obrigado Sérgio,estavam mesmo ali á minha frente:) foi perfeito

Grandes fotos, Antonio. Muita qualidade. Parabéns. / Great photos, Antonio, congratulations.

Too bad,Antonio. I twill take a while before people realize how harmful it is.
Recently a bird food company which sold seeds for wild birds was penalized for ignoring the pesticide and insecticide regulations of The FDA.So really ,it is quite a frustrating issue.
Some reserves are taking legal action against people feeding birds.

Thanks Emma she was a few meters from me,we can se the shining eye,here they have the same "problem"(not allways:) that we have in Porto,people feed the birds and they aproach to se if there are something,i have a spotting of that to:)

These pictures are perfect . They really do justice to the beauty of these birds.Thanks for sharing!

Nice! I'm seeing Mergansers in Florida now, too. Did you watch them fish?...It's a neat thing to watch.
