Goosander family

Hello all,
We are new to the group, having only just found the reserve in spite of living in the Brighouse area for many years.  On our first visit (1st June, evening) we came across a family of goosanders being panicked by a heron. On the way back to the car park via the canal bank we spotted them making use of an old tyre in the river.  Not sure if this is a common roosting spot or just a convenient place to stop off?


We returned twice during the following week but didn't see them in the same place again.  It would be nice to know if this is common behaviour or just a chance sighting.
Really impressed with the whole site, the bird feeding area in particular.  Many thanks to all those who have helped to create and maintain a local wildlife haven.  We look forward to visiting frequently in the future.

  2. Super photo - well done.!
    (With such a large family, the tyre must be a 'Goodyear').
    Lets hope they all can avoid the Herons.

  3. You’ll see goosander more often than not on the river and canal, but maybe never like this again! I don’t know of any regular roosting spots - someone else might - but you certainly came away with a great experience.

  5. Brilliant picture! Very cute. As far as I know, Cromwell Bottom and the Calder at Copley (Hollas Lane Bridge) and again the Calder up at Hebden Bridge, have all had breeding Goosanders in recent years, but I've not seen them at any of these places myself this year.

  6. Saw them at the weekend and they'd definitely grown. 13 young I counted.

  8. This knowledge, I believe, is crucial.
    For my own benefit. In addition, I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to read your piece.
    However, you'd want to highlight a few commonalities. :D I love the style of the website, and the contents are excellent.
    Hooray for fun!

  9. I really appreciate your clever writing as a design for your blog.
    Is it a payment problem or did you receive it yourself?
    In any case, it is best to stay in writing.
    It's rare to see a webpage as beautiful as this one.

  10. I guess I am the only one who came here to share my very own experience. Guess what!? I am using my laptop for almost the past 2 years, but I had no idea of solving some basic issues.
