Red-breasted Goose Wyke Regis, Dorset 4th November 2006

I read my pager at 9:30 and noticed a Red-breasted Goose had been found at Ferrybridge half an hour ago. A fairly good drive down had me at Ferrybridge 20 minutes late. That'll teach me to ignore my pager. News had spread that the bird was viewable from Littlesea Caravan Park (off Lynch Road). The place was easy enough to find and I quickly located the bird amongst a large number of Brents. It was a little distant and the light meant that I had to be further away from the bird to get it front lit. It wasn't long before the bird started walking further before flying off towards Buttersweet Cove followed by the whole flock of Brents.
