Thankfully for all my visiting bloggers,not the sort that affect your stomach,but the visitors from the russian Tundra.The birds were found yesterday by visiting birder Tom Lowe feeding on a oil seed rape field above Bonby village.Today the birds were first seen in flight over the same fields,but re-located to a harvested Sugar beet field showing fairly well,but could have been closer.There were 22 birds present today,with at least 1 of these being a Pink-foot.It wasn't the greatest place to view,with an undulating field and a gale force North Westerly blowing with blustery showers to boot.The birds then flew towards Barton,but i couldn't find them again,but will have another look tomorrow.This is the largest flock of this species i have personally observed and this winter period is turning out to be a special one for it and visiting grey geese as a whole.A great chance again to study this species,if only better views were gained,but no doubt i will bump into some more soon.
Welcome to my blog!..This will be used as a diary of my many days out chasing rare birds,local birding and my experiences in the fantastic natural world of the UK,with a scattering of photos thrown in as well.
