Wintersett 29.11.19

Frosty start, 0/8 cloud, sunny with a light,  cool northerly.
Anglers CP: Teal 41.  Snipe 3.  Pochard 175 + 29 WRes..   100 Pink-footed Geese flew east at 09.50hrs.  Siskin 2 + 1 WRes..  Snipe 4. 
Wintersett Village: Barn Owl 2.
Wintersett Res: 3 Cetti's Warblers - north bank, south west corner and north west corner.
There was no sign of the 4 Barnacle Geese today, after the first clear night since their arrival, on the 22nd November.  That was the day when there was a small influx of 35 Russian White-fronted Geese and 10 Barnacle Geese from Holland, to the east coast at Spurn -  and indicates that our birds were of wild origin.  Their wary behaviour throughout their stay also supports this.
