A freezing but enjoyable day on the Fylde watching geese, although spent as much time catching up with old friends as birding. The adult red-breasted goose was the main reason to visit and it didn't disappoint; it showed very well for about 10 minutes before a dog flushed the flock. Afterwards it took another hour to relocate, by which time it was distant and often obscured. There were at least 7 Russian white-fronts in the flocks too, probably more. Moving down the road there were perhaps 6000 birds in another flock, although I only managed a barnacle goose - whilst others saw the Todd's Canada goose and a single bean. Great to see so many birds, a real spectacle.

It is extremely nice to see the greatest details presented in an easy and understanding manner. Hungarian goose down duvet
