On a relatively quiet look around the patch this morning a
Tundra Bean Goose with the Pink-foot flock just northwest of the causeway at Cresswell Pond was the highlight. We also thought there was another Bean Goose, though with better views we decided it was just a Pink-foot. Other sightings included 2
Barnacle Geese also at Cresswell, the
Hen Harrier again at Druridge Pools along with a couple of
Pintail, and the long-staying
Long-tailed Duck at Bothal Pond.

| Tundra Bean Goose - in the poor lighting we found the bill shape and lack of white in the tail useful clues. |
