Grey Day, Grey Geese

After a morning seawatch, a check on Walland Marsh for the flock of seven grey geese (possibly/probably Bean Geese, possibly with Pink-feet) that Neil Burt found late afternoon on the 1st Feb in dull and drizzly conditions. Never close in the Ashentree Lane area but the flock of seven were still at the same location and still distant from Cutter's Bridge. Initial identification of all Bean Geese was later changed to three Pink-footed Geese and four Tundra Bean Geese. Well done Neil.

After the goose flock disappeared from Ashentree, Martin re-located them at the Beaconsfield/Hook Wall area, and they were closer. Thanks for the call Martin.
