Are pink-feet a migratory species, and will they have reached Freiston Shore or Frampton Marsh by tomorrow?

I need them for my life list!

The Snow Goose has already reached Norfolk. Watching from Chapel Point between 11:30 and 18:45 we recorded over 4000 pink-feet heading south to Norfolk and also recorded the Snow Goose.

Chapel Point - my patch- not a bad place is it Graham?? Just wish I'd been watching today as well!!
Katherine - the Pinks tend to make it as far South as Skegness and then most of them make a left turn and head across the Wash more or less at the narrowest point. However, keep your eyes open at Frieston tomorrow there may be some passing over.

12.20 Flamborough, E.Yorks - were I saw the bird along with Steve Routledge heading south with 87 Pinkfeet
12.29 Bridlington Bay, E.Yorks
13.35 Spurn, E.Yorks
14.35 Chapel Point, Lincs
15.20 Titchwell. Norfolk
16.00 Holkham, Norfolk

Pink feet are quite scarce in the autumn at Freiston because they do exactly what Edmund said - head across to Norfolk from Gib. However, in mid January to February, they head back north to Lancashire and often cross directly over the reserves, and therefore straight over your house Katherine! Just keep an ear open for the distinctive "wink-wink" call. Very different from Canada and greylag geese.
