WWT Sightings 2 and 3 February 2006

3 February 2006 The first winter male Greater Scaup was seen on the South Lake but no sign of the redhead Smew that was reported at the South Finger yesterday. The E. White-fronted Goose flock numbered 740 and were very obliging. The Dark-bellied Brent and Pink-footed Goose was as usual with them. The Barnacle Goose flock has increased to 105 which begs the question are the extra birds wild vagrants? Two Ruff with the Lapwing from the South Finger hides.

2 February 2006 The Pink-footed and Dark- bellied Brent Geese were with the E.White-fronted Geese.
