Yarrow Goosander

Post by David Banks »

No sign of mother Goosander or 7 ducklings since last Tuesday. I have to amdit I had given up on them, had a chat to Gary (Lilley) at weekend and we agreed a mink or fox must have had them. I was delighted to see mother and ducklings earlier this evening, but then slightly disappointed as there are only 4 youngsters left. I suppose this was to expected as the numerous Mallards on the river between Eccleston and Croston have suffered similar losses this week and they were thriving. The Goosander was nearer to Eccleston today, approx halfway between Corn Mill and church bridge.
