When I was a kid growing up I only ever saw these on the coast , now they are everywhere. I'm a fair way from the coast and this year I've had upto 8 in the field at the side of my house. Got a feeling they are nesting in a big pile of round bales.

I have a pair near me, they've been on a flash since about March but no sign of them nesting yet as they are always sat on the water together. Lovely ducks. I once saw one that a wildfowler had shot by accident. I was about 7 or 8 at the time and this guy actually didn't know what duck it was that he had shot....

I've bolted a few over the years around here and it still makes me jump when they come out
