A bit of monitoring on the wet grassland this morning turned up a few goodies. A five goose day as well as 3 dodgy hybrids (red breast/barnacle, greylag/Canada and the Ross's type)
1-BRENT GOOSE
77-whitefronts
1100-pinks
1250-wigeon
447-Canada's
2 bewicks lost in fog over Brundall early am.
Still no beans but I keep saying next week looks good! looks like some easterlies which could well push them over this way, fingers crossed they will return.
Here is a photo of said Brent, a juvenile dark bellied feeding profusely with the Canada flock shows the size difference quite well. Don't usually see them alongside Canada's! (hopefully it'll replace my other record shot of Brent's earlier this year!)
Lots of juvenile whitefronts present, I did do a family productivity count a few weeks ago which suggests they had a successful breeding season
