21 waxwings at gib point, (14.20, 23/11 ) Earlier, some watchers had counted 19. Maybe more than one flock! Location........As you go over hump bridge towards MAIN car park, look left, there is a red berried bush with a leafless tree behind. They were on bush and tree. Has anyone else noticed a strange behaviour they have? They will all fly into the air for about 10 yards and then return whence they came. Btw., they make a lovely trilling sound. |

Clive I have not noticed that behaviour - hawthorn berries are getting quite depleted here now. Offshore - a late manx shearwater flew south and a very distant northbound flock of pink-footed geese contained a white goose sp of similar size ! Kev |

I had a single white goose flying with a flock of around 60 grey geese (presumably pinkfeet but too far away to be certain) this afternoon. Flock was heading in a westerly direction to the west of Brocklesby / Kirmington. Not sure if this is the same bird Kev saw and as this is the only record I found in search, I don't know if it is seen regularly and if a proper ID has been made of it. James |
