Testosterone is still running high with the drakes, and fights are still breaking out around the few females that are still not nesting. Jemima's two mates have now broken the truce and are fighting for dominance and her favours ! The Testy big fellow having seen off previous competition and lost most of his neck feathers in the process - has done it again . For creatures that have no teeth, they can certainly get a good grip !
I see on the Nairn birder site that he said the river only had one Goosander previously. Not so, the photo here - I took in 2008 and you can see there are 6 females, and that was in one spot between Whinnieknowe and the granites. 
Over the past 7 years I have always seen more than one Goosander between firhall and the sea.
