Trittiford mill pond and the dingles bird sightings (1 Viewer)

[zomerset]

Yesterday afternoon's highlights were Kingfisher and Goosander....and a Jay having a narrow escape from a dog!

Hi MPB,
Was the Kingfisher on the mill pond?
Thanks

Hi zomerset,

It was on the slither of the River Cole which runs along side Trittiford Mill.

Thanks MPB,
Inlet or outlet end to the pond?
Thanks!

Towards the Scribers Lane end if I remember correctly, hope that helps

Yes thanks! Winter, I've seen them on the pond & the inlet steam.

Sadly no kingfisher this afternoon when I popped down.

Bar-headed Goose was present.

Only one pair of Tufted Ducks were there.

Greylags were there - I didn't see them last Sunday when I went down.

Hi Where was the bar headed goose? Was it on the pond with the Canada and greylag?

I would like to see one

I wonder if the Bar-headed Goose is the Cannon Hill Park bird?

I’m going to pop down tomorrow and take a look!

Hi Julie,
T'was on the near side of the pond when entering from the main Priory Road entrance and, yes, was with the Canada Geese and Greylags. Hope you're able to him/her

Not sure Rob, but I'd seen someone had logged one there recently on Bird Track and I'd also see a photo on a local Facebook nature group so thought I needed to get there again ASAP

I can see from the pic where it is - thank you

Got a great sighting of the Bar-headed goose today

There was also this: larger than a Canada goose, with a pinky orange bill with a white stripe above. Is it just a Canada hybrid? I’ll post it on the ID forum as well.
