Minima of 4000 Pinks, 16 European White fronts and 5 Tundra Bean Geese this afternoon: could well have been more geese as flocks were very mobile moving constantly between different fields.
Seems to be another influx of White fronts taking place with 32 at Alkborough yesterday, 10 feeding with Greylags at Barton where a flock of 33 flew west as well.

Interestingly a few individuals from the first wave of White fronts made it down to Southern Spain where they are decidedly uncommon. Twelve White fronts and a Canada Goose in El Rocio were attracting " twitchers".
