Geese have longer necks and longer legs.  The big breed of Ebden geese which are pure white, are getting expensive, even to buy as young ones to bring on, they are £30.00 each.  Over  £50.00 to buy to eat.  We used to have Ebden geese too, but they do not mix well with ducks and will attack them.  I would think if a few geese turned up in Calis they would disappear into the pot quite quickly. ;D  ;)

Anyway, as I was saying, it looks like the promenade will not go any further towards Calis than this point near the Devlet hospital?

I always thought that, mainly due to the problem of how it could navigate past the Club-e hotel (where even pedestrians had to cut across their gardens to progress towards the front). That's been done now (by simply flattening the end of the bird sanctuary), so my feeling is that it will go all the way to Calis prom, eventually.

I think everybody would like the new prom to join up with the Calis prom, the bit I can't get my head around is there by Duck Island. It's obviously been landscaped and planted where the land narrows so the prom won't be coming through there which leaves water on one side and a road the other.

They'll bulldoze the land side landscaping in minutes - ask any one from Lissa Park :(

not sure where the island is? we fed the ducks every day in August morning and night by the Club E where they have made the new road and walkway . Where is the new 'island' in relation to Erdemler? (keith?) Im still hanging on til the walkway joins up to Calis as im hoping our place will become 'front line'!   ;)

I thought it's on the main road, past the little shop - where the Erdemler area roads end. But I may be wrong  :)
