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

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 :)

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 :)

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.

Great walk today - many fledglings still being fed, territorial males and families :)

There were a pair of GC grebe on a nest - is this usual for this time of year?

Last weekend, my first visit of the year, good to see 12+ Swifts over Trittiford.
Kingfisher down stream past Scribers. Another way upstream (SB). Good there are still 2 territories. Several Little Egrets.
 
Quick stroll round yesterday. Highlights were little egret, grey wagtail, pair of cormorants, couple of grey herons, lots of corvids including a good number of jays, just one lesser black backed gull in a large number of black headed gulls.
