Dan here.
My recent attempts to sniff out a late rare passerine (please hume-our me) have been scuppered by plagues of distracting geese, and my attempts to get passable photos of them.
At least thirty-four Euro white-fronted geese were in evidence in the murk today, with three seen on the maize stubble fields, and a flock of 33 on Aldcliffe Marsh, which featured just 4 juveniles.
Sadly this group was scared by some ne'er-do-wells and it re-located to stubble fields near Overton.
I'd reckon there have been more white-fronts here in the past week (a nationwide influx) than there have been over the preceding twenty years or more...so forgive my gruesome photos...I'm just a bit excited to see this species here.
