The 13 Goosander (3 males and 10 females) were later seen on Cowm Reservoir along with PF Goose,Mandarin,2 Tufted Duck and about 14 Herring Gull passing over in 2 flocks of 7. Thats the most Goosander I have ever seen on Cowm (perhaps its something to do with the lack of noisy water skiers) Sorry, should have posted this earlier. Dave Ousey.
