A miserable windy grey day was brightened up late this afternoon thanks to Rick who found a group of 22 Russian White-fronted Geese on Little Marsh. The last time the species was seen here was back in December 2021, so it was a welcome sight!
Other birds recently on the patch include - a bizarre sighting of 2 South African Shelducks on the evening of the 15th with an Avocet. The two immature Spoonbills, Spotted Redshank and Little Stint continue to overwinter on site.
