Did this bird visit the hairdresser?
One should think so. I'm not completely sure but I think this is a young female hooded merganser. I saw this bird in Plantaria germany and liked his cute head.

Hi Zeno,
This is a wonderful close-up of this duck. Details are amazing, really. We can see that she is coming out from water at this moment by having this nice drop of water on her bill. The ones that I have in my gallery do not have those red eyes but they are Common Merganser, I never saw this specie before... Well done :)
