Goosander

I know I said no more until after Xmas but I was very pleased to see a group of 13 Goosander (7 male and 6 female) on the river near work yesterday on Thurcaston Road. Presumably Watermead is partially frozen to force them down here ?? Still 3 males and 3 females this morning together with a pair of Shoveler, which is a patch tick.
