On a wanda

My usual lunchtime visit to Broom GP was brightened up considerably when I glanced at the Greylags next to the main lake only to see ten smaller geese amongst them - the Tundra Beans from Blunham had decided to make a visit. They were about 4 miles from their usual haunt so can I count them as 'self-found'? I haven't yet.

Five mins too late

Gutted. Bashford and I arrived a few minutes after Jim Gurney had got to Blunham this lunchtime - he beckoned us over and said with a grin on his face "don't think these are greylags" - I put my bins up to find ten Tundra Bean Geese standing on the ice! Great birds to see but wish we'd been there a few minutes earlier. Then, when we get back in to work after lunch, we find out Tim Sharrock had found them even before Jim. And we thought we were the only birders who went to Blunham!
