It could be gander but usually They stand taller than a goose more erect do you have a pair, and I will say my gander has an attitude my goose doesn't so if it's acting like a gander it probably is one. lol

Yes
Foxes, hawks, bobcats, wolfs, mink, polecats, badgers, bears, pine martens and some more.
But the most common are foxes, badgers, hawks and minks

Your preds sound like ours in the USA depending on what part of the country, we have just about all of them except badgers ,martens but minks and weasels make up for the martens, and snakes we have alot of them too.

I witnessed Pom and Trina mating today.
Poor Pom, he climbed on backwards and mated with her head LOL

Is it ok for them to be mating if Trina isn't laying yet?
Trina totally started it! She ran over and dove into their tub, then swam around him yanking on his butt and tail feathers until Pom started trying to climb on top of her.
I keep checking for eggs but I can't find any. I really doubt she could find a place to hide them, there isn't really anywhere for them to go that isn't easily visible.

Yeah they are fine! Especially since she started it. For me, living in WI, it is way to cold for them to think its time to produce eggs. I don't know what the weather is like where you live but that might be why there are no eggs.
So all in all, don't worry about the mating, they are fine.
