Observation details
In the main bay east of the Least Tern enclosure and east (further out in the bay) of the main sandspit, so a considerable distance from land. The bill and neck of the bird to the left in the first photo looks like RB Merganser to me. The bird on the right, which I believe is the bird on the left in the second photo seems to have a brownish head of a merganser or perhaps even of a Common Goldeneye and also a whitish looking collar. Photos are too poor to conclusively ID.
