Interesting behavior shot. The face looks a bit dark and I can't figure out what the merganser is about to eat? Did you recognize it?

Hi Axel.

Should be this one "Eelpout" Zoarces viviparus We have a lot of them in dk and by the coast it is a greate source off food for a bird. used to dive after them as kids.
Yep i dindt get the head to good aparently, but i would have liked it a little sharper.
