A look from Cemaes (Pembs) towards Cardigan Island / coastal fields late this afternoon, found the Barnacle Geese flock loosely associating with Canada Geese.
Nothing unusual in that, and the Cardigan Island post breeding flock numbered 46/47 birds late summer.
This scan across the river though did produce a surprise, not a decrease in number, (birds may have moved to Marloes Mere?)..........but an increase!!
A drive around the estuary and what a sight -- several attempts to count but ....105 Barnacle Geese.
Origins ?
Barnacle Geese have been seen moving down the Ceredigion coast since the cold spell started, and none left on the Dyfi?
The latest sighting 58 on the sea off Llanrhystud yesterday, and last Tuesday, flocks of 87 & 47 south past Newquay (per John Davis)
