Ruddy Ducks in Lincs 2009-10

Recorded from just 10 sites in Lincolnshire during 2010. The decline in this species is due to the cull of the UK’s population of Ruddy Duck being undertaken by the Food and Environment Research Agency (FERA), initially for five years but now extended into 2011/12. The table below allows comparison between minimum monthly totals in 2009 and 2010.
