The Goosander and 10 ducklings left the box last Monday.

Here's a picture of the box:

Hi Peter, we're they successful in getting out of the box? How many chicks in the end?

Cheers, Simon

The bird isn't doing much and we don't know when the eggs are due to hatch.

10 minute footage of a female Goosander we have breeding this year at a private site in a plastic barrel. Amazingly this is nowhere near any body of water.

The picture quality isn't great and there are some problems with black bars going across the screen, but there's nothing we can do about that.
