The 72 White-fronted Geese from North Wall were still present today but had relocated to the fields near Chalder Farm so Ian and I headed over there. Before that I checked Ferry which is teeming with waterbirds at the moment and then walked from Halseys to North Wall before we went off to twitch the geese. 74 species of about 5000 individuals between the sites
HERE with other highlights including 2 Rock Pipit, 2 Siskin, Green Sandpiper at Marsh Farm and Fieldfare and Firecrest on North Wall.
Russian White-fronted Gesse (above). Also Herring Gull in lower pic with limited black in the wing indicating a argenteus/argentatus intergrade
The recent restoration works and the rain have created some excellent habitat on Ferry Pool with 350 Lapwing, a few Golden Plover, 9 Blackwits, 250 Wigeon, 105 Shoveler, 50 Teal, 4 Shelduck and 100 Canada Geese
Rock Pipit on North Wall (presumably littoralis with that super)
