Geese were on the move yesterday when we did our “Area 9” walk. c130 Greylag Geese flew over, and there were 40 Canadas on the levels near Rye Farm. Nice to see a return of Lapwing now the ground is greening up – 25 in the same area and 50 Starlings feeding among them. All round the route we were accompanied by Chiffchaffs calling, and by flights of Swallows and House Martins. Highlight of the morning was a group of 6 Yellow Wagtails feeding by the feet of one of the cattle by Stretham Bridge. They upped and awayed before we could get close enough for a pic!
