White-fronted Geese - Gann

The good start to the year at the Gann continued.  Around 4.45pm a flock of 7 White-fronted Geese flew down the river and across the bay, before veering west towards the airfield / Marloes Mere.  Presumably birds of the Greenland race flavirostris as that is the one we record most often, and the photos seem to back this up as they look long billed.



Very few gulls (the roost seemed to be over in Dale), but I was able to record another 11 Oystercatcher colour-rings and, very pleasingly, 5 colour-ringed Curlew (well 6, but one is faded and couldn't be read).
