Goosander.

Quick post tonight…

At Lake Windermere today trying to catch Black Headed Gulls for the start of a new project, however we failed & didn’t catch a single bird. To be honest we only saw around 5 birds at Bowness – on - Windermere, which is quite strange! But for the lack of gulls, a stunning female Goosander made up for them!

  1. Cracking bird, never done a Goosander before. Good effort. You hand net it?

  2. They're lovely birds!! We caught this one by hand in the water, we very rarely use nets - as these tend to spook the birds, even before we get anywhere near them!!
