Bird news services were reporting a couple of snow geese most days near Point Sands Holiday park last week, but there's been nothing since. Does anyone know if the birds have cleared off, or if it's just that the observer(s) have cleared off?

Probably still around - they were with the regular wintering flock of Greenland White-fronts so may well stay around for the winter - the geese do move around and some of the feeding fields aren't as user friendly as the ones at the holiday park.

cheers, Andrew

Thanks. May try for them this weekend...though it's a long journey from Sheffield!

I went yesterday and the geese are still present visible from the road in the field about 5 fields along from the track to the holiday park.

Not that this has any real bearing on that locality, but a single Snow Goose was pictured in East Fife very recently, pix popped up on Flickr posted by a Dundee chap. See here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/93995449@N00/10614535254/in/photolist-haYgww
