Whereabouts are the Shore Lark on the reserve? If anyone's going for a late morning/early afternoon trip to Gib travelling from the Boston area, I would love a trip out - Dad's car is still fully booked by others! |

I think it is worth pointing out that the goose flock is mobile and is mostly on private land to the west of the reserve (Croftmarsh). Kevin told me that it is best to watch from opposite the second (going north from the Reserve) golf course car park where there is a private road going west. Alastair and I could only see a small flock of Pinkfeet, which soon flew off. Others have rights of access but the general birder shouldn't turn up in the expectation of seeing these geese - patience and luck would be needed. Rob |
