There's currently a few thousand geese feeding on fields at Altcar Withens,
just outside Formby. Two days ago the snow goose was with them, but I didn't
see it yesterday or today. Amazing how a large white bird can go missing for
long periods, especially when it's associating with the well watched
Lancashire Pink-footed geese flocks. Prior to Sunday it hadn't
been reported since 28th October! I'm pretty sure that it wasn't in the
Rainford area during that period because I and others have watched that area extensively over the
past few weeks so where's it been? And where's it gone now? If it was feeding
here two days ago with all of these geese, you'd surely think that it was a reasonable bet that it would still be
here?
