White Front........

25/10/10
i did have photos on this day, but i have since lost them, so hey, no photos.......
Upper Bittel Res....
a twitch to this location to find the 4 WHITE FRONTED GEESE swimming about with the large flock of greylags which looked atlot better with its (wilder) companions as my ony previous worcester white front was with a canada flock ( but right time of year etc so it on the list), i watched for a bit before the dissapeared around behind the sailing club, so i had a scan around....
21 wigeon
and 2 shoveler
there was also a lone adult YELLOW LEGGED GULL which i may have seen later when i did the roost at upton..
a barnacle goose was with a large canada flock in the fields.

upton warren
after getting the geese we moved down to the roost at upton via the moors pool which was rather quiet,in the roost an adult yellow legged gull was picked out which looked similar to the bittel bird, but only 300c large gulls assembled. we left at dark but as we was walking along the south shore of the sailing pool we counted a flock of 58 GOLDEN PLOVER fly up off the mast field and fly west...
