Alex Portig and I visited the north end of Strangford Lough today, and a big change in numbers!!
We managed a quick count of Floodgates to Castle Espie, and came up with an overall total for the northern mudflats of 600+ geese, compared with the 50 reported on the NI Birds blog yesterday (which could well have been the same birds reported by Cameron Moore the night before). About 250 checked for marked birds, with 6 ringed birds read. And so another winter commences................
