I watched from 0830-1130 this morning from Poole Place area in a stiff and cold SE 6, sunny most of the time and ok if sheltered. There was a good bit of movement, with the majority of it actually coming in the last hour and a half, including one huge flock of c.220 Brent with 2 Shoveler at the back and several decent flocks of Pintail. I photo’d a few of the Brent flocks to assist with counting later....zoomed up, one of the pic’s shows what is obviously a pale-bellied bird amongst them. Totals below. (OM)
