2 October.
Going out with the girls this morning and hear an odd clacking in the sky, definitely not the gabbleratchet of geese. I look up and there are a couple of swans, a few paces on I hear it again from behind the first swans and then there is a small flight of swans, maybe a dozen in total, all heading south. When I got home I got the books out and from the size and shape they must have been Whoopers, I've seen mutes in flight before but this is the first time for whoopers.

A phenological diary for Goathland and surrounds.
About...
Does what it says on the tin. An online diary of nature and garden notes based in and around Goathland, a small village in the middle of the North York Moors. We have a wide range of birds which visit the garden but being surrounded not only by moorland but also pasture land and some woodland including some lovely mature trees means we have an even greater species list that you might expect. The garden is predominantly herbaceous beds with some shrubbery areas and a fair expanse of grass.
