AND SO IT ALL BEGINS AGAIN...

First sighting from this winter of brent geese came in this evening from one of our canon-netters, Kerry Mackie, who reports about 30 at Cultra, Co. Down, flying low over the sea towards Belfast Docks.
I am happy to place any of your "first sightings" of brent from your area on the blog during this early period, if you contact me with the details on grahammcelwaine@btinternet.com

  1. No, we would normally register the arrival of the first vanguard of the geese at Strangford Lough during the last week of August, and the birds build up fairly rapidly from then - please see my subsequent email regarding the position a couple of days ago.
    These earliest birds can often be located way out in the middle of the Lough just south of Newtownards, and could well require a telescope to spot and confirm.
