White-Fronted Goose again at Ferry Meadows

Found today in same field and also observed SW corner of Gunwade.
European White-fronted Goose, Ferry Meadows
Record shot of a European White-fronted Goose found just west of the river along the Nene Valley Railway near Ferry Meadows yesterday by Malte Busch and relocated there this morning.
Scarce lone adult geese consorting with ferals are often written off as escapes but there have been no records of such birds in the summer and there can be little doubt this is wild bird. There has been an unusual influx of these geese into Britain over the past week or so and no doubt we will see more.

Turtle Dove and Green Woodpecker, Farcet Fen
Gone are the days I used to get a dozen at a time in the garden here on Farcet Fen. This juvvy is the first of year for me here.
Green Woodpeckers are regular in the summer feasting on the many ant colonies we have around the fen including several in the garden. © Steve Dudley | www.toadsnatcher.com
