Polemere - Goosanders

I've been keeping an eye every week or so, on Polemere - given the cold weather, this site has an outside chance of attracting unusual Wildfowl or Geese?

No excitement during a brief lunchtime call today (the norm!) however, having a siesta amongst the 40 Wigeon, few Shoveler, Teal, Tufties were a pair of Shelduck and three pairs of Goosander (not the norm)!






A bit of role reversal (for birds) with the female putting on quite a display - does my hair look good!






Sure does and seems to be keeping the guy interested....






Some girls play hard to get of course.....








It doesn't always do to chase, she'll come back!






I may be up for a chase of my own tomorrow - the Grimley Slav Grebe......
