Many years ago White-fronted Geese used to build up to as many as 400 strong in the fields along the monts/shrops boarder, nowadays due to increased farming there natural wintering habitats have all but disappeared along with the Geese, so to hear that 3 had turned at one of my now 'local' site, I was keen to go and see them!
When I got to the reserve, the 3 birds were showing distantly but well enough to clearly see what they were.
Other birds of interest included, 4 Little Ringed Plovers, 2 Redshank, 2 Common Sandpipers, 1 Lapwing, 2 Oystercatchers, 40+ Curlew, 13 Goosanders, 2 Cormorants, 80+ Fieldfares, and a handful of each Swallow and Sand Martin.
