Overpopulated? According to British Waterways, they don't have any on the canal network. They are not mentioned at all in the Waterscape list of wildlife to be found on the canals: <http://www.watersca pe.com/features- and-articles/ features/ wildlife> In the 2007 survey of animals seen on canals, out of a total of 3724 animals spotted, there was apparently not even one sighting of a Canada goose: <http://www.watersca pe.com/features- and-articles/ news/1064/ wildlife- survey-reveals- kingfishers- thriving- on-canals> Perhaps they have been mistaken for mallards? -- Martin Clark Internet Boaters' Database http://www.lock13. co.uk/boats Pennine Waterways Website http://www.penninew aterways. co.uk __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
