Young Goosanders
First good look around for over 2 weeks and found a brood of 11 young Goosanders at least 2 weeks old and a regular walker also said he saw a brood of 6 early this week,and as yet no cofirmation. Also found a Little Grebe with 3 young only 1 or 2 days old on reedbed lagoon.Plenty Warblers singing but still no Kingfishers between Brighouse and Cromwell House.

There were 4 young Goosanders there on the 20th Mike, and another 3 females down at Anchor Pit Lock, but Kingfishers are not very obvious on that stretch of the river either.
Those 11 young Goosanders were on the river on the 21st they were quite big then. I would think that 11 is pretty much the maximum clutch.
