c.7000 Pink-footed Geese

Pink-footed Geese on the Mere

A lovely autumn day, light winds and bright sunshine early on. A roosting count of Pink-footed Geese produced just under 7000 birds. A single Barnacle Goose was picked up with Pinks from the Ron Barker Hide this afternoon.

In among the geese in the past couple of days we have had leucistic Pink-footed Goose and Greylag, the later being the first leucistic bird of that species that has been recorded on the reserve for some time.
