Laps / Whoops / White-fronts



Another great day out with Paul G.  As Kim says the adult Whooper still at the Gann, showing really well, and 6 Mediterranean Gulls on the shoreline (all adults), and one Great Northern Diver this morning.  3 Chiffchaffs in Dale all looked good for abietinus, and another was at Dale Fort.  On the Airfield 11 Lapland Buntings scattered across the grassy area to the west of the pond.  Finally at Marloes Mere 4 adult Greenland White-fronted Geese and 8 Whooper Swans (presumably the birds seen flying over the Gann a few days ago by Peter Howe), 2 adults and 6 juveniles.  Lovely.
