Christine's walking & birds blog

A brisk walk to the weir brought nothing new. I walked round the back of Monument Hill just in case there was an early wheatear, but could find only three stock doves.

As I set off on the loop round West Marsh another birder (Bernard Clark) pointed out the Brent goose to me. It was some distance away, but I clicked off a couple of shots from the partially-flooded hide.

The goose flew off to the south, over Dorney Common.
