Buckenham, Cantley and Broadlands revisited - 1 February 2015

Still on the lookout for Bean Geese we retraced our steps. The Wigeon were at Buckenham in even greater numbers and the water level had risen quite a bit since the previous day.


Cantley was just as devoid of Bean Goose as before although we saw some Golden Plover we then moved on to Horsey. There were Hundreds of Pink Feet spread over a large area. We gave it a good go but just couldn't locate any Bean Geese reported as being with the flock, but with 50% of the flock in the far field it was never going to be easy. An immature male Hen Harrier and Buzzard, together with several Marsh Harriers were seen, along with single Crane, Barnacle Goose, 12 Ruff and three Turnstone feeding in the same field as the Geese.
