À propos de la chasse (common merganser)

The common merganser is the largest of the fish-eating ducks and an impressive bird in flight. Hunting takes place at lakes and rivers, often in combination with other duck hunting.

Like the red-breasted merganser, the common merganser has fishy-tasting meat. Many hunters therefore leave it alone, unless it poses a problem for fish stocks.

It is fast and powerful in flight and typically flies low over the water surface.
