Geese

With the morning taken up with domestic stuff, it was early afternoon before I started looking around the peninsular. A text from GH had me going to Scotney to see 5 Tundra Bean Geese (possibly the same 5 I saw on Walland on 28/01/13) and 31 Greater White-fronted Geese. At the ARC a wander up to the tower found a few Long-tailed Tits, Goldcrests and a Chiffchaff with 22 Curlew over and a few Common Snipe flushed. Another look at Scotney found no change. On Walland 226 Bewick Swans 1 with white colour ring but not close enough to read, 1 Whooper Swan and the Black Swan all at Hawthorn Corner. At Midley the usual Tree Sparrows and Yellowhammers, and at Tickners lane seed dump more Yellowhammers, 8+ Corn Buntings and a Common Buzzard.
