Followed that with a visit to the overflow, nine twite turned up. Do they come down when seed is being put out? I stood there for 20mins or so and was joined by three groups (3,2,4), they sat around at close quarters singing and displaying. When I left they took off as though there was no point in hanging round if there was no food on offer.
Headed down into the vally and found a single pinkfoot with the Canada's at Mytholmroyd, just checked my records and there was a single bird there on 18th April last year.
Great afternoon

As far as I know seed has been put down twice this week. We have a problem in that the Canadas and Mallard are also very fond of Nyger seed and ahve been feeding in this area - not sure how to get round this?
They were sat on the fence around the outfall, that makes a small enclosure that the geese wouldn't get into, vegetation a bit long there but just a thought.
