ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd check about the Barnacle Geese your pictures shows Greylags?
Cheers Danny - oops
ReplyDeleteWishful thinking - Barnacle Geese!!
I must be half asleep this aft.
Leeshaw turned up 35 Barnacle Geese on one of our better days a couple of years ago, so its always worth a visit.
ReplyDeleteA good report there John. A real birdie day today with plenty Pinkies on the move..
ReplyDeleteThe Greylags were new in at Leeshaw from yesterday.
Danny: Just had a look back at your Barnacle Blog - a great find. I'll keep my eyes out for Barnacle up there. Didn't think they would be so numerous.
ReplyDeleteBrian: Looks like we all had some good birds today.
Thanks for the comments
John.
