First Barnacle geese of the season
This week saw the return of the first flocks of Barnacle geese to our site, a very welcome sight (and sound). On Wednesday 14th September, around 134 were counted from our Avenue tower. There were also some Pink footed geese amongst them. We look forward to their numbers increasing over the following weeks as those making their migrations from Arctic Svalbard make their way back to us.
