Description: | The Red Breasted Merganser is a sawbill - a duck that eats fish, which it catches in its long, thin bill. This has tooth-like projections and a hooked tip, both of which help the Merganser to grip on to the slippery fish. To catch these it dives from the surface and can swim strongly underwater. It breeds around lakes and rivers in forested regions of northern Europe, including parts of northern England and Scotland. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals North East natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
