Superb goldies. Do the Northern form breed locally or are they moving further North?

Wonder if its another group of Goldies or the ones from lower down by the kennels.

Didn't get chance to check the Nolstar birds Bri.
Yes Muxy the northern ones get to Iceland or and Northern Europe. They look fantastic in summer plumage and we could get some more yet.

Might be worth keeping a check on these fields for Dotterell in the next few weeks. Or any other hill top for that matter !
