    Ruddy Duck cull continuing

    1 record of ruddy duck on the Azores halfway across the Atlantic. None in Europe. Genetic sampling shows that there has been no recruitment away from the original escapes. Ruddies don't get here under their own steam.

    Ruddy Duck cull continuing

    About 70 birds escaped/were released but this declined to a couple of dozen at most by the early 60s. Apparently they werent a particularly varied lot in the first place.
