Martin Mere joined in with the influx of Russian white-fronted geese today, with four flying around the mere for 10 minutes. It appeared that they
were going to land on Plover Field but finally they headed off south, a family
party of two adults and two 1st winters by the looks of it.
I thought the day couldn't get any
better, but then I managed to relocate a knot that was reported yesterday, only my third sighting ever on the reserve.
Other birds today included 32 oystercatchers, 29 ruff, 50 black-tailed godwits,
ring-necked duck, three species of egret, plus the usual wildfowl and raptors.
Not a bad day.
A video of the white-fronted geese, mainly for the sound of their calls!
