On the subject of unusual Geese - an Egyptian Goose was with the Mute Swans in a large field at Sharpham Lane last night, also a very large fall of Sand Martins feeding over Long Drove Lake on the other side of the road, probably 200 - 300 birds.

There was a Pink-foot that spent time at Shapwick (Noah’s Lake) during the winter of 2010 & Spring 2011 - possibly been hanging out with the Greylags somewhere on the Levels all that time?

Yes, it was 3 years ago, probably not a long time in the life of a lost/wandering Pink-foot, just seems odd that a single bird of this species shows up at the same place twice, I can’t recall any other Pink feet sightings in our area in recent years ?

Just checking Jon…you do mean Jan-2015, 3 years ago?

And still present just after mid-day on the same field as yesterday with the small flock of Greylags & Canadas.

On my Westhay Moor Webs count of 19.01.2015 there was a single Pink Foot on 10 acre Lake, later the same day I re-found it on farmland North West of London Drove associating with Canadas and Greylags, at the time I thought it was probably feral, wonder if it the same bird ?

Pink-footed Goose, still with Greylags and Canadas on roadside large grass field just east of Westhay Moor NNR car park at 16:00.

I thought I probably saw it here a week ago, but sat down in grass at back of the field and only had my binos with me.

Still there this morning but in splendid isolation!

Reported earlier in the day by James P and was still present in the fields at Westhay Moor at 14.50 with 25 Greylag Geese
