This is a covering report concerning the request received in the
attached letter of 12 July 2004 from the government’s Central
Science Laboratory to British Waterways. The request is for
permission to undertake a cull of the North American Ruddy Ducks at
the Brent Reservoir. The cull would be part of a Government
programme to control the introduced North American Ruddy Duck in
the UK and Europe; and hence to help conserve the globally
threatened but closely related White-headed Duck in Spain.Related reports
