Also today a late report of a male Blackcap back of the golf course.

Another relatively quiet day although a nice surprise at West Beach this morning with a Barnacle Goose with Brent Geese, feeding in fields east of the car park or returning to the sea depending on the tide or disturbance. Of unknown origin of course but with the Brent on the move in the last couple of days this could be of wild stock.
