White-winged Scoter.

Low angle shooting is not possible at that location.
The water was clam that only happens a few times per year.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Karl,this duck is certainly different never seen one with a bill like that, with what looks like teeth on the lower mandible, not the prettiest bird .Not sure about the feathers on the back look a bit soft I think but that's with these old eyes of mine, reflection and the blue water look really good.

What a great closeup shot.Perfect head turn and view of the mandible and teeth.
Well done,

If I were to imagine an alien duck species, this would be it :)
Excellent exposure and details, Karl.

I see this duck at first time. Wow, what for a beak and teeth. And white eyes. Love the details and colors.
Good exposure control. I think you have made a great work.

They always look odd, you have captured the ultimate weirdness of this duck!
Nice….
