Tundra Bean Goose.

Tundra Bean Goose with Pink-footed Goose at Marshside, 7 April 2012.

Failed miserably in my efforts to find a passage Osprey so far this weekend despite best efforts yesterday evening at Longton Marsh and today at Hesketh Out Marsh and again at Longton. The ten metre tide failed to produce anything of note (for me at least) - 18 Avocets on HOM and a pair or two of Grey Partridge at each site. The Corn Buntings were holding territory at Longton though with two singing males.

A good excuse then to revisit yesterday's Tundra Bean Goose (on the blog) out on Crossens Inner in the gathering of Pink-footed Geese around the pool.
