Feather brain

A question. I've been interested in birds all my life although more particularly in the last eighteen years or so. As such I have amassed a knowledge to be quite helpful but on occasion absolutely lethal to boot. I have on this blog recently stated that an Owl has P2 missing when in fact it was P9. Nobody complained.........So here my knowledge falls short again. Red breasted Merganser in Amble harbour Saturday afternoon.
Wings extended primary outermost...........so what are the two v shaped projections? I am so dumb

Nice hair day anyway


Eider, I knew that one of you would show up. For those of an artistic bent.........try mixing the colours of the green neck or the pink breast flush. Quite a challenge!




On the Carr , play Mistle Thrush for me. All paired up and raring to go.
