Brent Geese Red Nab Heysham 13 Jan Malcolm Downham
I was keen to see if the birds were still present yesterday, and as I was in the area I decided to go to Knowleys Road to find 6 Brent Geese on the incoming tide off the children's play area.
Mediterranean Gull 15 January. Pete Woodruff.
A Mediterranean Gull was also seen from this viewpoint, initially on the shore, then went on a nearby inland field.
Thanks to Malcolm for the use of his image of the Brent Geese, much appreciated.
Not just Brents but pale bellied at that. A scarce bird in Kent. It's been a few years since I saw one of them.
ReplyDeleteHi Pete!!! How are you!!! :-)))
ReplyDeleteAbout the Starling ... The most common species are usually the most neglected ... Although I understand that it suffers a great decline in the United Kingdom ... It's a shame ... Thank you very much for your comment and happy weekend..
Cheers
