I great mix of species. I've never heard of shoveller being called Hollywood mallard before. I thought that the other two were goldeneye but are hooded merganser; something we don't find in England, or if we did it would get the birdwatchers in a frenzy. I don't suppose you actually eat those do you? The canada geese we get were ones from the species imported about 300 years ago and they have done very well. Our type are the giant species; the B52 sort. I shall be fly fishing tomorrow and competing for space on the river with them. Last trip they were a real nuisance. My young cheasapeake found a nest and had scrambled egg for lunch. Great memories that you've shared with us. Lagopus.....
