A good year for Geese and Swans and only March.

Watched from Roper Lane , photographed from Green Lane
by Tracy Collier. Pink Footed 5/1/13

Distant from Roper Lane heading over Fly Flatts. BS

Pinkies over Queensbury through the fog, 2/1/13

44 Barnacle, 7 Pinkies, Leeshaw res. BS 5/1/13

8 Whoopers Fly Flatts BS 17/2/13

9 Pinkies, Leeshaw res BS 3/3/ 13

The above are just my personal sightings with many more reports around the local area with also sightings of Goldeneye, Wigeon and Teal so although its been a quiet 2 month to press the wildfowl sightings have kept the job going nicely and the Pinkies should be on the move home anytime now.
All quiet around the village today with a dull misty morning and bright afternoon with a cold SE>4.
Expecting Buzzard over anytime but after a good sky watch at lunchtime and camera at the ready nothing, only to get back to work and hear of one >NW over Northowram from AC which would possibly have been viewable from Foxhill, try again tomorrow.
