Whooper Swans at the ARC today
Goldeneye at the ARC today
A Swan and Goose hunt on Walland Marsh today was relatively successful in that I found at least 8 Bewick Swans and 10 Pink-footed Geese along Hooks Wall, though they were all very distant and mostly hidden behind bushes and reeds. Small numbers of Redwing and Fieldfare were found and a single Missile Thrush but not much else. This afternoon the 2 Whooper Swans were at at the southern end of the ARC.
From Hanson 2 Goldeneye, 8 Black-tailed Godwits along with usual wildfowl and Black Plague.
7 White-fronted Geese were at the back of Dengemarsh presumably the same birds as yesterday, there was no sign of the Dotterel today, though I may have unknowingly seen it last night when I was out around Dengemarsh using a thermal imager, the fields were alive with feeding Lapwing and Golden Plover, also many Rabbits, 4 Foxes, 2 Badgers a Barn Owl and a Grey Heron were spotted with the thermal imager.
