Yesterday, there was no sign of the Sabine's gull and only one of the nine Brent geese remained. Pink-footed geese flew over very high in several skeins, one very large. Nice to see them coming back for the winter. This morning, in strong winds with spatters of rain, I struggled across the spit but failed to see the Sabine's, which might of course have headed south. The pale-bellied Brent goose was still on the spit - although as I walked back along West Terrace it flew along the loch below and landed close enough in for me to snap it from the car.
It picked half-heartedly at the green stuff, although I don't think this is its favourite food, eelgrass.
