#Northantsbirds The Tundra Bean Goose and 14 White-fronted Geese were still at Islip meadows (Thrapston) this morning, and showing nicely until disturbed by a dog walker. A pair of RCPochard were also on Town Lake. #ukbirding #digiscoping

A quick dash to Pitsford Res this PM to see the Goose influx. 4 Tundra Bean Geese, 7 Russian White-fronted Geese and 3 Pink-footed Geese at the mouth of Walgrave Bay, found by Jacob Spinks. Hope they stay for a while. Happy Christmas! #northantsbirds #ukbirding

A quick dash to Clifford Hill GP this afternoon to see the juv American Golden Plover, a great find by Pete Gilbert👍. I got a couple of quick pics looking into the light. I’m sure there will be better photos to come from others. #northantsbirds

Clifford Hill GP this evening 11 Black-tailed Godwits out in the middle, frustratingly one was colour ringed but too far away to get any detail. Maybe orange/red right leg above white and green on left? Also 1 Common Sand and a juv LRP. #Northantsbirds

A real nice surprise to see the stunning White-winged Tern (Childonias leucopterus) at Summer Leys NR today. It always seemed to keep its distance but gave good scope views. Here’s a heavily cropped pic. #northantsbirds #RareBirdsUK #UKBirding @wildlifebcn.org
