Just spent the weekend in North Norfolk and purposely ended Saturday at Holkham hoping to see the spectacular gathering of geese we have experienced in previous years. Two years ago, the sky was black with close to 100,000 pink-footed geese coming in to roost, in what I believe was a record year.
However, we had very few geese at all this year which got me wondering where they all were. I think the fact that we haven't really had a cold spell yet means many may have not made the journey to their final over-wintering grounds yet. I understand that some days might also be tide dependant and birds roost on the marshes etc.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
Thanks
Jonno
