Russell -I checked the Goose flock this morning - 1600 Pinkfeet, 3 European Whitefronts and 1 Taiga Bean Goose. In addition to what was reported from the WVP by Nige ( who forgot to include an interesting,large distant Buzzard!), a fem Marsh Harrier was present before he arrived ( making it one of my best Raptor days at Gib for some years),the Brent Goose flock of 450 had a couple of PB Brent Geese, 3 Waxwing flew S and around 800 Wigeon were feeding in the river channel. Very quiet offshore with just a couple of distant Divers. Tim had a HY Glaucous Gull and a Scaup from the spit before 11:00. |
