Geese

 Last weekend 14th December i was out on patch early morning (Hollesley) as i was gonna nip out to look at the Bean Geese on Gedgrave marsh, after searching through all the geese and gulls here i picked out a few good gulls, Caspian and Yellow legged. 2 Ruff and the 2 Cattle egret still. Then i spotted 5 Geese coming in from the North Orange legs, small and dark, bingo it was the 5 Bean Geese, they then landed out of sight in the long grass but after getting a better look they were the 5 Tundra Bean Geese from Gedgrave marsh. I told myself they would probably visit Hollesley at some point over the winter just not so soon.  They did however just stay for the day before probably heading back to Gedgrave marsh. 

20th on Hollesley just a Yellow legged gull of note, although the 2 Cattle Egret were still on site.

Today 21 December 

Started in Rendlesham forest, Firecrest and Crossbill of note and back at Hollesley for the afternoon, 6 Russian White Fronted Geese, the 2 Cattle Egret still and an Adult Caspian gull, Many ducks now but i couldnt pick anything unusual out. Waders were 3 Ruff, 5 Ringed Plover and 3 Dunlin, 8 Turnstone and 6 Grey Plover on the Shingle.
