More Solway Geese ... Eurasian Whitefronts ...

The geese in the Easton area were more visible than last week when they were in difficult terrain towards Bousted Hill ... from the top of the hill on the road running north towards Easton I could hear Pinkfeet calling somewhere to the west ... from the bottom of the hill the flock was visible towards Fingland Moss and included two Eurasian Whitefronts ...  they were highly mobile and some went west and out of sight ... then a group of four Eurasian Whitefronts flew in from the east and away west - three adults and a juvenile ...

... the birds up by Fingland Moss (NY266578) were very distant ...

... with the Whitefronts appearing intermittently ...

... the Pinkfoot flock was fragmenting with some groups flying overhead toward Bousted Hill ...

... while others went away in the Drumburgh Moss direction ...

... in the Oulton - Lessonhall area near Wedholm Hill Farm (NY232516) there were more Pinkfeet, some Barnacle Geese and another two adult Eurasian Whitefronts in the area of Wedholm Hill Farm ...

... then from the south a flock of c.3000 Pinkfeet appeared ...

... and flew in to join the others ...

... more very distant Barnacle Geese were in Moricambe Bay and small scattered groups of Pinkfeet on Whitrigg Marsh before the rain came in ...
