Sutton Bingham - Fri 9 Jun

A quick visit yesterday afternoon produced a Red Kite and a couple of Hobby sightings, but nothing else. Tonight, I had a call from Rich, one of the Wessex Warden rangers, telling me of a strange looking goose with the Canada Geese so I made an evening visit to the reservoir to take a look. What I found when I arrived, at about 8.00pm, was a very smart Bar-headed Goose.

Obviously an escapee from somewhere, or a feral bird at the very best, it was nonetheless nice to observe something a bit different...and it was an addition to my Sutton Bingham list (albeit under the exotic section)..
