Gaddings Dam and Withens Clough this morning




























My first skein of Pink Footed Geese this autumn - 29 over Gaddings Dam flying SW. They reappeared about 15 mins later (although there were 34 geese in this skein I assume it was the same one I'd seen earlier) flying NE then a couple of mins later 34 geese flew past going SW again. Strange.

3 Skylarks just past Gaddings and a few Mipits still about.

A single male Tufted Duck at Withens Clough and 86 Canada Geese. The res is fuller than last week following the rain but there is still a fair bit of shoreline exposed.

Well done Jeff - a nice early record and brings winter a bit closer!
