The Pool is about 3 miles from the small town of Market Drayton and I haven't seen them breeding or on any water closer than that. They do however occasionally fly over the town and feed in fields nearby. Last year a pair of greylags successfully raised two youngsters on the Pool, which they left in mid-August joining the rest of the fock in the area for a month or two, then they all dissappeared throughout the winter. I wish I knew where they go, somewhere south I guess?

Goups of greylags and canadas seem to mix without any problems, but the canadas do appear to stay in the area throughout the winter.
