Ducking and Diving?

Studies by the WWT have suggested that declines in the numbers of Tufted ducks, Goosanders and Goldeneyes migrating to over-winter in the UK are consequences of climate change (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22484907). It seems that warmer winters in Scandinavia have persuaded some of these water birds to resist migration (an energetically demanding activity).
