Winter is a coming. A small group of ten, of what could well turn into severel hundred Wigeon later in the season on the Lune Estuary at Glasson Dock about six miles downstream from Lancaster.

Same as our estuary there are several hundred here now.
Nice capture. My favorite ducks
I don't know the status of the Wigeon Beryl but their numbers always appear healthy to me and sounds the same with you. I haven't the figure to hand but once counted c.3,000 I think it was at Cockersands just around the corner from where these were photographed. Its a lovely bird as many of the wildfowl are, the Pintail is another beautiful duck.

The status is actually amber according to the RSPB.
