Linda and I had a lot of pre-Christmas recycling to attend to at Strumpshaw tip, so we thought we'd carry on to Beighton to look for the reported Tundra Bean Geese. Well: they may have been there, but with over 10,000 Pinkfeet in three vast flocks at Beighton, Wickhampton and Halvergate Marshes they were never going to be easy to pick out. Astonishingly, I did find a solitary Whitefront!
Other birds in the area included lots of Buzzards and a few Marsh Harriers, while 'the Pens' out on the marshes provided distant - but welcome - views of a Cattle Egret and Hen Harrier.
