RUDDY SHELDUCK-WINSFORD FLASH

I was driving passed Winsford this afternoon to pick my son up from college, so I called in at Winsford Flash to see the long-staying Ruddy shelducks. The two birds were soon picked out walking around with at least 100 Canada geese in a field just past the sailing club.

At the moment, the BOU(British Ornithologists Union) have not got any evidence to prove that any of the birds seen in Britain are from wild or self-sustaining feral populations, so they can't be counted, but they are always nice to see.
