Lighthazzles
Just having a quick check on the Birdguides website and I came across a report of c.1430 Pink footed Geese west this morning over Lighthazzles, observer unknown. Also reported were 50+ Twite at the feeding station. I have spent the day in the Pilling area (west coast) looking for a reported flock of Twite which included colour ringed birds, talk about looking for a needle in a haystack! big area+ small birds = no success.

Have spoken to Brian Leecy who was in the area in the afternoon and had in excess of 2000 birds going west, the birds in the morning are different so it looks like there has been a large scale movement today.
My Wife out riding at Warley at about 10.30 had 400 Pinkfeet going
towards luddenden.
There is a flock of 50 twite at spurn.
I have been in contact with the Spurn regulars they are going to try and check the Twite for colour rings, thanks Andy.
350 Pinkfeet flew NW over Ringstone Edge Reservoir at 10:23
3 Wigeon were on the water + 1 Great-Crested Grebe
14 Lapwing feeding in north field
