  1. Tom, the checklist shows 2 x Common Merganser? Assume should read Goosander ? Bill nostril and distinct neck abrupt collar are Goosander

    1. Checklist shows Goosander for me, have you got the correct settings on your eBird? Either way “Common Merganser” is simply the American name for Goosander. Regards, Dave Lowe

    2. I think Dave is right. If you’re seeing Goosander displayed as Common Mergenser, check your species names are set to UK, not the default US 👍🏻
