She's a survivor.
Female Red-breasted Merganser with a broken beak. I think this might be the same one that was in Belmont Harbor last year as well. She's a bit ostracized by the other Mergs and often sits or stand on ice ( a bit unusual for Mergs ) but otherwise seems to be okay.

Handy reminder at Alton Water y'day that Hooded Mergs like to roost anchored in floating weeds, a technique they learn in the wild from sea otters #BirdArt #UKbirding
