An unexpected sight this weekend during my October visit was this Barnacle Goose on the pasture in Little Kelk. Although I've had one previous record in the early 90s this is the first in recent years. Is it wild or feral? Hard to say - there are feral birds in Yorkshire but wild birds do occur and the timing is interesting. I guess we'll never know... but hey, I'm ticking it :)
More later - including the first Jay for nearly 3 years, possibly part of a continental influx across southern England.
