Wild Goose Chase...sucess at last.

Having tried on several previous ocasions to track down the roving Tundra Bean Goose I did actualy locate it behind the Trout Lake in Chichester Gravel Pits this morning.
It was feeding along with Greylag Geese at the back of the field and as I only had my 400mm lens it was too distant for a decent photo. Nevertheless I was pleased to find it and show below a few heavily cropped shots...

On the look out...showing the orange beak with distinctive black tip.

.

Showing the dark head and neck, making comparison with the Greylags reasonably easy.

On the lakes plenty of Greylags....

..and the usual Canada Geese..

On a separate note the Brent Geese in the harbour are beginning to give the impression they are getting 'itchy' and preparing their flight plans for home!
