wintering diving ducks
      16/11/2007 20:08

is everyone out there noticing the dwindiling numbers of redheads,scaup,tufties and goldeneye or is it just here on lough neagh?? there used to be thousands upon thousands of ducks wintering here.when they would rise they would come off the lough in flocks off thousands and darken the skies. now we are lucky to see a flock off 100...is climate change the problem or are greedy wildfowlers to blame??it is a sad fact that although here on lough neagh we are so lucky to have these birds as quarry we take them for granted and over shoot them!! or could it be that the natural feeding here isnt as plentifull as it was???
