A few hundred pink footed geese seen flying north east over Westbourne road a few days ago, coming from aldcliffe direction. I tried counting, it looked like 500-600.

Did you mean to put lapwing twice?

Perhaps it is a hybrid goose

It is by the brow/ridge at the start of the path from freeman’s pond towards aldcliffe and conder green. Frog pond field is adjacent to the freemands woodland footpath. The geese were in the field on the opposite side of the path, nearer the estuary

The man feeding the ducks said he regularly fed them at that spot and that the drake gadwall would always be following a female mallard. He’s not a birder but who knows…? Perhaps imprinted at birth or a bit of a personality?

Wow, an osprey! I wish we could have been with you to see it! Good luck with the walk on 25th April.

We have had four or five blackbirds interested in the berries on our Rowan tree, Westbourne road. There seems to be one in charge, controlling the store, perhaps seeing that it lasts the winter 🙂
