White Fronted Geese, Filey Dams - 16th January 2018


Reports from the Dams yesterday indicated a brief appearance of c19 White Fronted Geese! This morning, Heather and I headed out to the Dams in the hope that they may have returned. From the car park hide, there was no sign of White Fronts, just the usual suspects of Canada Geese, Grey Lag Geese, Mallard, Teal, Wigeon, Grey Heron, Tufted Duck, Stock Doves, Black Headed and Herring Gulls. Moving onto the East Hide, BINGO! the nineteen White Fronted Geese were hidden behind a bund! Not exactly cooperative, asleep, facing away from the hide, with frequent squabbles! It would be rude not to try and capture images of these beautiful geese!
