🍂Snow Goose - 29/09/2024
Sunday 29th September 2024🌤️8C ~ SE @ 12MPH ~ A White-morph Snow Goose was sighted alongside Pink-footed Geese from the Waulkmill Hide yesterday along the Ythan River, but regrettably, I couldn't make it there.
Despite this, I chose to start early today, Sunday, to see if the bird was still there. To my astonishment, I encountered thousands of newly arrived Pink-footed Geese, which was akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. The birds were dispersed along the river and throughout the adjacent fields. Nevertheless, the spectacle at one point was truly magnificent to witness! Fortunately, I managed to get some good scoped views of the Snow Goose both in flight & over the fields after another visit on Tuesday, along with five newly arrived Barnacle Geese and, of course, the thousands of Pink-footed Geese.
