Goosander's again

Yesterday the weather forecast was for a nice day. As we had to be over in Snowdonia, change over day at the holiday cottage, I thought I'd re visit the Goosander's that live below Snowdon. We had some lovely light first thing, but has been the case all winter it wasn't long before the rain clouds rolled in.
While the light lasted it was lovely to watch them fishing, they must have been catching really small fry or water insects, whatever it was they were too small to see but they had certainly found a feast.
Below are a few shots taken yesterday. The male has a green head the female a rusty colour.
You can see the teeth in the bill to aid with gripping fish.

Lovely early morning light, this is the male.
