In the pink

Another good find by Paul Davy on Thursday night was a Pink-footed Goose on the Mid Brooks, which was thankfully still around and showing well from West Mead hide this morning - the first site record since 2017.

Quite where this bird has come from will probably forever remain a mystery but it's unringed and wary and seems likely it's the same bird that's been at Titchfield Haven in Hampshire* recently and perhaps even the same one that was at Stoke Water Meadows in Surrey back in February.
Otherwise it was another fairly quiet day with just 5 Black-tailed Godwits and 4 Whimbrel reported by Paul at Hail's View.

* Since I wrote this I've seen that a Pink-foot was also at Lower Test Marshes late morning today, so perhaps a different bird after all.
