Potential Goosander? UK (1 Viewer)

[Punkist86]

Hey, I was lucky enough to see this duck today on my hike! I THINK it is a Goosander?
I've never seen a duck like this, I'm not an avid birdwatcher, but I do very much enjoy seeing new (to me) species randomly.
I didn't get a fantastic photo, as I only had my phone today and the duck was quite skittish.

Goosander it is.
Neat demarcation between 'red' head and chest helps separate from Merganser.

Thank you very much!! I don't think I've ever seen a Merganser either! I best get back out hiking - not that I need another reason!
