Pink feet movements
Pink footed geese do move between north / north west Norfolk and the Broads including the Yare Valley.
Nearly 100 pink-feet over Buxton Heath on the Norwich Holt Road on 22 January 2005.
On a foggy December 22 2006 pink-feet flew west over Dereham Road area of Norwich near the Fat Cat PH. 50 of the flock were visible in the fog.
On 30 December 2007 some 5,000 flew north west over Reepham. Not in one flock but counts of 650, 500, 500 again, 100, another 500 and 1,500 etc.
David Norgate , your information about the lack of pinkfeet around Buckenham is incorrect. Doing survey work I had 125 on October 25th and 35 November 27th flying up from the Yare Valley over Buckenham and heading north. Also over a thousand were feeding on a beet and wheat fields just north of the A47 close to Buckenham for over a week at the start of November.
