these birds are a freshwater inhabitant that have come over here from the continent  As to the numbers  there is a roost on the weaver by saltersford lock  and i counted over fourty one day.

[Theft: Manchester:Rochdale: Dukes Lock - steel engine cover plate]

There have been gas bottles stolen recently on the bridgewater  one boat had the chain locker lid and a bag of coal thrown in . we think they thought it held gas It seems the perps had to be on a boat due to getting on to secure moorings to steal two bottles   Perhaps the deck plates fared similarly .
