Just to let you know this morning we towed 2 Tern rafts onto Pintail bank for maintenance.
A quick look at West end birds – 10 Lapwing, 1 Common Sandpiper, 1 GBB & 2 LBB Gulls, 2 Mandarin, 36 Mallard, 82 Canada & 34 Greylag minimum. 13 Egyptian Geese, 5 Grey heron.
I understand from Brendan the last white farmyard goose which had been relentlessly attacked by Egyptian Geese was found with a broken neck. Apparently it did mate with a Canada Goose earlier this year and had 1 young before its demise interesting if anyone sees it!!!!
