My brain contains some random birding knowledge collated from goodness knows where.

Was walking along Llanberis Lake yesterday when my mate pointed out a black-and-white diver-like bird and pondered what it was.

From out of nowhere my brain said, "Merganser?".

I don't know when/if I've ever seen a Merganser before.
