Well, somebody had to say it...
I see our hunch was correct. The Red breasted Goose is a ringed bird. I think that should just about remove it from everyone's list.
A drive up past Cresswell again tonight and the Hoodie ( Crow, not lambrini soaked chav )was again right out near the road in nice sunshine. This time, I thought, don't get out of the car.

All is not lost! Seemingly, an eminent Northumberland Birder, with a beard from the Whitley Bay area, has been doing some research and it appears that the russians are keen on putting yellow plastic rings on RB geese, if anyone can read a number it may well be back on the list.......
Oh and there are two ringed birds on the south coast too...
