With nothing much around today I thought Id go to Leeshaw and check on the goose roost and maybe get an early wader.
The water was quiet other than a few Canadas and Mallard plus 1 pair of Goosanders but no Curlew or Oyks seen by Danny yesterday and it looked like his Pinkies had moved on.
A check on the goose roosting field found it empty but Canadas could be heard higher up in a field with no viewing access .
At 1630 it started to happen with geese coming in from all directions and going down in the field out of sight with mainly Canadas at first then a suprise of the 9 Pinkies from yesterday followed by Greylags and Greylag hybrids making me think the white ones were Whoopers until they got into range.
Lapwings also started leaving the fields and heading for the same spot as the geese and when I drove up the road and scanned down on the field from some distance the field was alive with geese.
I found a lane that I could drive up then walked to the area of the field but all showing was a number of Canadas and Greylags as the field dipped down out of sight with no public access.
An amazing sight to see so many geese congregating for the night.
