Had a telephone call from local birder (Tim Edwards) after lunch to say he had just located some Bean Geese from the North Wall. As it happened I was just about to set out to obtain better photographs of the Water Rail as the light had improved so quick change of plan to look for Tim and the geese. As I arrived Tim had started walking over the fields to where he believed the geese had now gone....the old story...'should have been here 10 minutes ago'.
A long walk resulted in no success and we trundled back to the North Wall but then ....success...they had re-appeared. For the next hour we watched them feeding and enjoyed noting the dark brown head and neck and the bright orange legs and bill in the fast disappearing sunlight. They were really too far away for a photograph but I managed a very poor record shot...at least I know they are there....somewhere!! (Well maybe it just shows the location! )
