Some of the 39 Barnacle Geese of unknown origin that were feeding in the field in front my house this morning.

The Great Northern Diver with the deformed bill was still on the ARC, thanks to NB for the info. The great Northern and Black-throated Diver was still on Burrowes today, thanks to RW for the info. The Bewick Swans are still at Clubbs Lane, Walland Marsh probably not for much longer. The Glossy Ibis is still around and Bitterns seem to be more in evidence. On The Point a Woodlark was heard yesterday and a Dartford Warbler was seen.
