An Egyptian goose was on on the end of the spit this morning, before swimming past Horrock's towards the car park. For at least the past five years a pair of Egyptian geese have spent a month or two at the flash over the summer and in 2021 they had a juvenile with them. However this is the first record that I have from the flash this year, just as I was beginning to think that it was going to be a blank year.
Obviously I've now way of knowing if this is one of the regular birds, but if it is, it's the first time I've seen it in September. Previously the latest date I have for the species is 31st August.
