Tudurgs, and then came the Wildlife & Countryside Act and goosanders got protection in Scotland. As a result they multiplied and spread south and now they are a pest in England. I am semi retired but work part time as a Riverkeeper; that is I look after the fishing interests and ecology of a section of the River Dove in England for the land owner, the same river made famous by Izaak Walton but I look after the section below where he mainly fished. As a result I can get a special licese to cull them from 1st. September through to 15th. April. Pity they are inedible! Lagopus.....
