Today seems to be the major influx day of Barnacle Geese. Yesterday count of 4500 has been almost trippled today, with Barnacle Geese almost in every field and part of the saltmarsh you look at. No vagrant geese as yet, but today has seen the arrival of the first Lecustic bird, so keep your eyes peeled for this white Barnacle within the flocks.
