WALSDEN

One barnacle goose with Canada geese on Rochdale canal at Walsden. Near Bankwood House/Cottage, Lanebottom. Our son saw it at 2.00pm today and it's still there tonight at 5.30pm. It was sitting on the wall of the cottage holding court in front of a group of mallards.

I'm walking on that way tomorrow morning so I'll have a look and see if it's still around.

There is a lone Barnacle Goose around that is often with Canada Geese. (There may be more than one.) I have seen it or another with the Mallards in Hebden Bridge, and at Ogden Res. Pam Rutherford says one regularly appears at Ogden Res.

Yes Steve, I've seen the one at Ogden and even heard a couple of 'regulars' refer to it as Barney, but haven't seen one around Hebden as yet.
