a challenge!!
they have these birds at martin mere. they are a hybrid and i was just wondering if anybody would like to guess at what they are a cross between!!
good luck
p.s-if youve been to martin mere and know what they are, dont tell
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

eider,goosander and muscovy a right mish mash
Definately Eider in there more than anything else - but what else???
A sawbill of some kind I think Dave, possibly RB Merganser
Looks bulky enough to be part eider and the narrow bill looks to be goosander/merganser. Must have been a blind date!
I thought eider x badger, but then I thought no! Eider x pintail?
I've seen these a few times at MM and their 'name' is a cracker. But I'm saying nowt.
Have fun, Chris
the bird is called a gooder
its a cross between an eider and goosander. certainly an interesting bird. well done those who got it right
