Went to look for Lapland buntings between the car park and the lime kilns this afternoon - no sign of LBs, nor any other seed eaters come to that, but the snow goose was feeding with 3 wigeon by the flooded corner of the 2nd field. The wigeon flew off but the goose stayed put as I passed within 100yds of it. More evidence of a domestic origin I supose.
Many curlew and lapwing, around a dozen golden plover, redshank, oyster catchers, 3 snipe, heron, wren, songthrush, rock and meadow pipit, pied wagtail, kite, rook, crow, starling, dunnock, robin, and turnstone made for a pleasant walk, despite freezing rain.
