'Pinkies'

Pink-footed Geese over Calderdale yesterday several reports coinciding with a report from Lancashire of c15,000 leaving the roost at Martin Mere. Al reports came mid morning to mid afternoon.
100+ over towards Todmorden > SW (BL)
26 >W and c40 >N over Fly Flatts (NK)
100+ >W over Green Withens (TW)
c60 >W over Crimsworth Dean (JM)

Little consistency over direction of flight, it just looks like various groups timed their movements to different locations?
All reports of 'pinks' on the move would be welcomed. I guess there will be many more over Calderdale from now on until early spring!
