The one that got away...

Today I sneaked in to see the Woodhorn Richardson's Canada Goose on my way to work. It was feeding with a Barnacle Goose and gave a good comparison. A nice distinctive bird and only half the size of those huge grass munchers we're more used to. What really hurts though is the fact that I've had to see it here rather than at Boulmer when Rob had it flying south a few weeks ago...

The bird showed reasonably well in Jimmy's scope ( I was on my way to work after all) and was easily viewed from the roadside next to the mini roundabout along from the QEII lake looking east towards the church flash. I only caused a minor tailback of rush hour traffic when I abandoned my car on the verge for a few minutes look...apologies...
