About 16 White-fronted Geese in the distance with Greylag Geese and a few Mute Swans. Viewed to west from the road (where the cut maize field is) about 3/4 mile south of the RSPB Ham Wall car park.

White-fronted Geese were at the same location as Robin has described ,that is until a heavy lorry rattled past and spooked the flock,they then flew to another nearby field.
Video and some stills of the Geese on my website.

Flock of 22 White-fronted Geese, with 80+ Greylags, still present this morning on large grassy fields, south of the road (Westhay Moor Drove) about 700 metres to the east of Westhay Moor NR car park, just prior to the next turning on the left (Lewis’s Drove) that goes past Rosebud Farm. Approx map ref: ST463437.
