I suspect this is the adult hybrid that has been present with Greylag Geese at Buckenham Carrs for at least six weeks (per Barry Jarvis, Phil Heath, Robin Able, et al). If not, it may well be one of three adult LWFG of suspect origin which have been resident in Norfolk for at least 12 years, which commute between the Yare Valley and Heigham Holmes. Tim Allwood and others saw at least one bird at the latter site during July-September of this year.<br /><br />Of course, Buckenham Carrs were always the premier site for this species in the county, but consorting with the Eurasian White-fronted Geese wintering there then rather than the Taiga Bean Geese.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646606477544895760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311317640879870617.post-746612046825778912010-12-13T23:32:19.997+00:002010-12-13T23:32:19.997+00:00I was just going to say that...I was just going to say that...Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985665182124985194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311317640879870617.post-25433770757033247832010-12-13T22:10:20.294+00:002010-12-13T22:10:20.294+00:00Maybe worth checking yer mans snow goose wasn'...Maybe worth checking yer mans snow goose wasn't the ross's goose Iain.<br /><br />I'm tempted by the lesser whitefront/northern harrier combo, but don't know anymore about the goose, would be good to hear that it's a first winter bird with euro whitefronts.... time will tell I guess.
