Just wondering if anyone in the north yorkshire/tees area watches Long Newton Reservoir east of Darlington, cheers to @teesbirds1 for their assistance.
While many birds are starting to head south for the winter, others are returning to escape the harsh winters of their northern breeding grounds.
Skeins of Pink-footed Geese may now be seen passing high overhead as they fly to our coasts. Report sightings on @BirdTrack

Today saw the first of the 2024 Barnacle Goose catches. A nice catch of 160 birds caught for ringing & several GPS tags deployed to help learn more about our naturalised population #BirdRinging
Any kayakers in North Yorkshire (Catterick area) on Saturday 13th July and interested in helping with a goose catch (for bird ringing/tagging), then I'm all ears, please do get in touch!๐
