Han. Stor Skallesluger (Common Merganser, Mergus merganser)

Along Falster's eastern shores there are "good" numbers of breeding goosanders - not a common species to breed in Denmark - so locally we are proved of having this beautiful species around all year. Females are often misidentified due to birders habit of identifying species from a philosophy of what is most common and not from a character point!
