Sunshine and Geese.

Mid morning at Scotney I relocated the 2 Tundra Bean Geese which spent most of the time sleeping during the 2 hours I was there, even when a Marsh Harrier flew low over them, flushing the Lapwing and Golden Plover they hardly lifted there heads. 7 Whitefronts were also there sleeping and when they stood up there was 8. The Long-tailed Duck was in its usual spot a Redpoll flew over and a flock of 12 Linnets were on the sward.

                                                               Merlin at Walland
After doing some domestic stuff I went out onto Walland Marsh this afternoon to watch the Harriers going to roost. While out there a Merlin (111 for patch 2014) was perched on a fence distantly and up to 3 Common Buzzards were around. I was joined by CP and PT (Plovers Blog) but no one told the Harriers were there to watch them, as none came in to roost tonight.
