Wild Goose Chase

Sunday January 9th
Wanting to be home for the Man U / Liverpool Cup match, we left early for the north coast on a superb looking day. Cloudless with not a lot of wind. We wanted to tick off a Ross's Goose for the year before they disappear and made for the Wells area, trawling inland lanes looking for harvested beet fields and flocks of Pinkfeet. We found two very large flocks of c 2-3,000 each, which we had to survey through hedges, trying to find a less dense patch. No sign of a white blob.
In between we made a couple of visits to Wells pitch and putt, finding a Black Brant on the second visit - despite four pitch and putters pushing the flock to the back of the field.
At least Man U won......
