Tundra Bean Goose

Early today (19th) saw me wandering the levels with Hazel the labrador in tow and my scope slung over my shoulder. Aside from a single Jack Snipe we encountered nothing of any note on Down level so decided to head across Horse-eye towards Snapsons' Drove.
As we commenced crossing the footpath I picked up the flock of Russian White-fronts that has been steadily growing through the last couple of months so stopped to count them. Suddenly whats this, dark head, dark bill with restricted orange, a Tundra Beaner amongst the white-fronts of which there are only 19...
Also another Jack on Horse-eye. This evening a single ringtail into roost on the BTO survey count, although no sign of any SEO and surprisingly no Marsh Harriers. Keep the faith!
