Firecrest, Gt. Spot's & The "brent"

Mullock;-
Ringing at Mullock today, 162 birds caught,-perhaps surprising during this mild spell.
A nice male Firecrest was the best bird, but also a Treecreeper caught isn't a regular.
The most interesting species was the 6(six) Great Spotted Woodpeckers caught, all females, 5 of them first year birds & the other was ringed as an adult in 2003, ie at least 6 yrs old!

The Gann flats;-
A very low tide when I caught up with the brent geese flock(1430-1530), on the tide edge but at this distance the(grey brent) bird was obvious, see Dave's posting below.
In the light this pm, the true colours look more like the top photo, if not exactly!!
