It's generally assumed that your 'controllers' can count to one before having to put the boot in

They are more likely to take the boot off.

MANDARINS
Re your records on Mandarins, this one was photographed on Forge Mill lake on 21st Nov. 2007. Some believed it could have been an escapee! Have you any records of this?

Just updated my blog with a review of my visit and a complete species seen list - http://www.birding.uk.com/forum/blogs/adrian-k/546-sandwell-valley-rspb-visit-29-11-2014.html
An hour each around both pools ystda was pleasant enough. I had forgotton just how striking male Goldeneye are:eek!: A single male on Forge Mill stood out from its dowdier and drabber cousins like a dick on a dog! I have'nt seen a Goldeneye for 3 years, perhaps that says more about meGoosander nudged into double figures and an overflying Parakeet.....
I believe i said hello to Matt Gibbs and his girlfriend - we were the two blokes with the dogs sitting on the bench.

Hi Laurie I understand your point but a small clearing about half way across would be a slight improvement didn't realise dogs used to swim in the pool from this area I can only imagine what disruption that used to have on the bird species around the edge of the pool.
I must admit I would be surprised to hear of a mega being seen soon around Sandwell Valley RSPB as it has everything going for it.
