    Eck, what an odd time of year to get a Wigeon, nice one.
    If you get a new static can I have the old one for Soil Hill.

    Might have been domesticated?
    It was near a stream In the grounds of a large house approaching the
    Church at Addingham (on the dalesway footpath).
    Bit cold on Soil Hill for a static but we could always negotiate (like Joe Gormley) used to say.
