What

Red-breasted Merganser (Mergus serrator)

Description

Was less timid than most of the diving ducks around the harbour/park walkway on the Whitby waterfront, so I think it might be a juvenile. Colouration could also be a female or non breeding male (any insight much appreciated). It dove and floated back and forth along the water and groomed itself for a couple hours.
