Can anybody confirm the identity of this fella. We suspect it is a Merganser?
We are a retired couple who after living abroad for 5 years are now living in Levin, New Zealand. From October 2006 we cruised the inland waterways of Britain. We sold Narrowboat Gypsy Rover in July 2010 and continued our travels around the UK in our new Motorhome. In August 2011 we returned to New Zealand ahead of our motorhome which arrived in October. Although now land based we will be continuing our travels throughout New Zealand when time allows.

Doesn't look quite right for a merganser, but more like one than anything else in our guide.
Beak shape and tail are OK, but the colours, as far as can be seen, aren't right for either the normal or the eclipse plumage.
Could be a cross breed, of course, always the problem with duck IDs.
All the best
