It interesting that she prefers to hang out with the male goosanders who are also sawbills but are more than twice her size. This a very distant photo but does allow a size comparison. She has to paddle twice as fast to keep up with them.

Mrs Smew (again)
I went to see Mrs Smew again. Unlike last time she didn't catch a fish while I was watching but she did allow good views to see her sawbill.

I noticed this behaviour. It was almost comical.
