As I run www.GoWildlifeWatching.co.uk in the afternoons and I have a part time job in the mornings. So after my morning Job I decided not to go straight home to work on the shop, Instead I popped down to one of my local rivers to eat my lunch on the river bank as it was a stunning summery day. Luckily I had my camera with me with 1 battery left and from in the reeds below me a family of Goosanders swam upriver.
There was 1 female and 8 young and as I had the wrong setting on my camera I did not have time to change. I was very pleased with the sighting as this is a second family I've seen this year with freshly hatched baby's I am guessing they nest quite close.

The female led the youngsters back down river past me and usually they journey upriver as the other day
I saw the first female with 3 youngsters a few miles upriver and they had grown quite alot.
