At about 6.15 this evening, in the dark, there was such a commotion of yapping, flapping and honking only a short way over head as I walked Bunty up the main road in Longhouhton. What must have been 100+ Pink footed Geese were going north. As I looked up into the dark, the street lights just about lit up their bellies... An Oystercatcher called out in support, my first one of the spring moving west...

Apparently lots of movement all day, MK sent me some reports totalling c360 birds at Blyth and there are other reports from further south.

100s of Pink-feet over ours yesterday evening as well.
