Gooders (Mergus merganser X Somateria mollissima) |
In the wild Goosanders can sometimes be
promiscuous and interbreed with the Eider duck. In the spring of 2005
this occured at Martinmere and the ducklings were raised in the nursery.
The youngsters in the two first photos are approx 6 weeks old. |
