Lovely Euro Whitefront at Hundred End this morning is the first decent bird of 2025 - probably one of my last posts on here, so please follow if you want to see posts going forward

Really liking the concept of Bluesky and its Threads functionality - really easy to build of up a fantastic bunch of relevant local and national posts for everyone who subscribes to them to enjoy. Please connect here if you’ve also made the move

Finally a scarce goose at Banks in the Pinks - this nice adult Euro Whitefront is a little distant, but a great looking bird

The wide ranging Snow Goose is back on Banks Marsh this morning, looking slightly less genuine than when it arrived with Pinks a few months ago!

@DWardPhotos Thanks Dave - I'm still not convinced, but not my call - just interested as to why it's being called a Taiga - I would have thought the head shape and thick neck rule that out, but as you say, maybe it's just its posture in those shots. Cheers
