Orkney Gun Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Sadly no! It is not an early nest.I have found already about 8 or 9 along the drain embankments here. The first one being Mar 2nd and it contained 4 eggs.Earliest nest found I could not say but I read in an old copy of "The Gamekeeper and Countryside" way back in the 80s that one(Mallard) had been recorded by a Suffolk keeper in EARLY JAN so all I can say is GOOD LUCK and hope there are many more around your estate..
