The adult Tundra Bean Goose was again in the ‘Darter Pond’ Field – west of the cycle track between Freeman’s Wood and Aldcliffe Wildfowlers’ Pools. It was eventually located after about an hour combing through the flock of c.4000 Pink-footed Geese which, for once, were all grazing in the same field. A very impressive sight with some geese within 20 metres of the cycle-track – prompting much interest from passing walkers and cyclists.
No sign of the recent adult Lesser White-fronted Goose or any other geese species (or neck-collared Pink-feet) with the flock, though an orange-legged Pink-footed Goose was notable.
Still 1 female Goldeneye on Freeman’s Pools
Single Willow Warbler and Blackcap, plus several Chiffchaff singing in Freeman’s Wood.
