PINK FOOTED GEESE

Bob and I finally caught up with the Pink-footed Geese at Ynyslas this morning. They seem to range between the fields on the east and south side of the Leri. As CB noted yesterday, one is noticeably darker and has a Bean Goose-type bill. Janet Baxter joined us and took some useful photographs but the bird still remains a bit of a mystery.
 A ring-tailed Hen Harrier was seen briefly over Cors Fochno. On one of the fields with the geese were 260 Golden Plovers.
