Another stunning sunrise

Pink this morning not gold like yesterday and it didn't last as long, it had faded after about 15 mins.

Then on the way back from our walk this morning two Canada geese flew over head, honking loudly.

Geese

A large skein of geese flew over this morning, probably 80-100. They seemed the wrong shape for pinkies, shorter tails and necks with fatter wings. So, courtesy of the RSBP bird guide and listening to the calls, I'm hazarding a guess at white fronted geese.

First Goathland Geese

20 September
Reports of the sighting of the first skeins of geese, probably pinkies, flying south - maybe to join the huge flocks at WWT.

Autumn has arrived I think

17 September
We've actually turned the heating on these last couple of days, it has turned decidedly autumnal, which as it's mid-September is only to be expected I suppose, there are still a few martins and swallows around but WWT reported the first large landings of Pink-foot geese this week so the year is definitely on the turn. (370 arrived on 15th at Martin Mere, http://bit.ly/19jiiN)
