Can anything be done about the boats keep flushing the birds, yes we all have a right to enjoy the Mere Fisherman , Birdwatchers and the Sailing Club. But what I don't like to see is a couple of hundred birds being flushed from one end to another while the canoe's sail all around the sides of the mere then straight through the middle, giving the birds nowhere to go but leave. Surely we can have a code of conduct even have the western side cut off with a line of buoy's so the wintering ducks can take refuge . Moan over !!!!. There were two female Goldeneye but they departed and I did not see them return.
There were 19 Pochard most of those departed aswell , the only thing I thought would go would be the female Long-tailed Duck as this was the first time the boats have been out this year. But to my surprise it kept flying around and some how managed to stay it attached itself to a flock of Tufted Ducks which luckily kept returning.
Surly we can all do our pursuits in harmony it just needs a little bit of thought and understand of each others needs.
