So you are strolling around Holkham Lake and you are scanning the myriad Greylag and Eygptian (aren't there a lot of these there?!) and you spot a Barnacle Goose - ooh an escape you think but then spot another and they have 4 young. So would you count them?
You're strolling around Blickling lake (ok I was hobbling) rest your battered foot and scan the geese and find a Ruddy Shelduck. A local birder tells you there is a feral population 2 miles down the road at Mannington (?). Would you count it?
I'm particularly interested in the latter !! Can't think why. Yes I know it's MY list but it should be reasonably meaningful.
No and No.....
Ruddy Shelducks often wander from Mannington and turn up at various places....was one at Holkham for a while
there is an interesting collection of ducks at Blakeney Quay including some nice South American stuff.......
Yes and yes...
well maybe no and yes
or
yes and no.
Actually NO and NO.
