both female goosander Dale.
The female is similar to RB Merganser, but the brown neck colouration is sharply cut off in goosanders - try the RSPB website for some good pics of male, such a gorgeous bird and quite different from the female.
welcome to WAB by the way!
Cheers
Ken

I agree with diggleken, two female Goosanders. Lovely birds which I very rarely see.

I got reasonable pics recently of the goosanders windering on Llyn Padarn at Llanberis - just one click away by going to My Wab webpages here on site!
