GUNNISLAKE to CALSTOCK
GUNNISLAKE to CALSTOCK As we stood waiting at Calstock for a bus to carry us up to Gunnislake, the usual ducks were milling around near the bus shelter; by far the greatest in number are Muscovy ducks. These are wild birds but they can be farmed, when they are said to produce ‘fabulous eggs and the best duck meat ever’. The name suggests they come from Moscow which couldn’t be further from the truth….they originate from South America! It is thought that the Muscovy got its name from the Muscovite Company which traded the ducks during the 1500s but they didn’t arrive in the UK until the 20th Century. They are the only domesticated duck that is not derived from the Mallard. Muscovy ducks are hardy in all weathers, from scorching sunshine to freezing ice and snow and here in the village their numbers appear to be increasing year on year. These ugly ducks are not like other ducks, firstly they do not fly much, preferring instead to waddle or lounge about as we know. Neither do they swim as much as other breeds because their oil glands are under developed and finally, they don't quack like other ducks but instead product a low hiss. On the plus side, they hunt flies and mosquitoes and eat slugs, bugs and even grass and grain…. whatever’s going really. When the bus arrived the driver looked a bit bemused when all 22 of us piled on taking up most of the seats, only to alight again at the crossroads near the local school where today’s walk began and where one more walker joined us. -

To: Trudy Russell Address: Natural England, Polwhele, Truro, Cornwall TR4 9AD Email: [email protected] Phone: 0300 060 0354 Authors: Stephen P. Cotterell (MBA) and Robert J. Hillman (EA) 1 Monitoring of allis shad and smelt in Tamar Estuaries – EC18234 – MBA and EA Recommended citation: Cotterell S.P. & Hillman R.J. (2016). Monitoring of allis shad and smelt in the Tamar Estuary – EC18234. Natural England Evidence Project Report RP02463, York. MONITORING OF ALLIS SHAD AND SMELT IN TAMAR ESTUARIES – EC18234 Executive summary In April 2015, the Marine Biology Association (MBA) and Environment Agency (EA) were commissioned by Natural England (NE) to investigate the distribution of allis shad (Alosa alosa) and smelt (Osmerus eperlanus), protected as features in the Plymouth Sound and Estuaries Special Area for Conservation (SAC) and Tamar Estuary Sites Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) respectively. Allis shad are rare in the UK and populations are declining in Europe. The only confirmed spawning sites for allis shad are in the Tamar Estuary. This site is also an important area for spawning populations of smelt. The UK smelt population is depleted and protecting estuaries used by the species is important because they can become locally extinct from isolated estuaries and will not return. The main threats to Allis shad and smelt include pollution, over-exploitation, habitat destruction/degradation and barriers to migration. -
