There were geese galore for a second day, with numbers of the scarcer species increasing even further:
Tundra Bean Geese now numbered at least 18, and
European White-fronted Geese reached 36. Also among 550 or so
Greylag Geese were 7
Pink-footed Geese and a
Barnacle Goose. Quite an array of ducks was on display too, including 2 new and 1 lingering
Scaup, 3
Common Scoters and the
Goosander, as well as multitudes of
Wigeons and other common species.
Just 1 adult
Little Gull was seen, along with 3
Long-eared Owls, 2 of which were caught and ringed at Holland House. Other odds and ends from the day's log included 8
Grey Herons, 2
Woodpigeons, 1
Peregrine, 2
Hen Harriers, 3
Dunnocks and 5
Chiffchaffs.
