Spent most of the day trying to track down the Greenland White-fronted Goose, but to no avail. Couldn't even find any Greylag Geese - just Canada Geese at Ingbirchworth and Scout Dike.
Ingbirchworth Reservoir - 89 Canada Geese, 36 Mallards, 7 Tufted Ducks, 1 redhead Goldeneye, 5 Common Pheasants, 1 Cormorants, 2 Coots, c80 Black-headed Gulls, 18 Common Gulls and 10 Herring Gulls.
Scout Dike Reservoir - 155 Canada Geese (in fields off Folly Lane), 8 Mallards and 3 Coots.
Broadstone Reservoir - 8 Mallards, 1 Buzzard (feeding on earthworms off Pottersgate) and 40+ Starlings.
Royd Moor Reservoir (viewed distantly from Spicer House Lane) - 1 Cormorant and c500 'gulls'.
Langsett FS - 1 Little Grebe.
