Still steady and calm today, and still very ‘goosey’ with no change in goose flock totals with the 38 Russian White-fronted Geese and 5 Tundra Bean Geese still present in the field just east of Ridge along the Arne Road, plus the lone Barnacle Goose put in an appearance this morning. However, todays interesting ‘goose story’ isn’t about one of our recent new arrivals, rather an individual thats been around several weeks in the shape of a dark-bellied Brent Goose at Baiter which is sporting a sat-tag collar and white ring with ring number SY. This has now been traced back to the project thanks follower Simon Johnson who sent us the data today, highlighting this bird was first ringed and tagged March this year in Eckwarderhorne, Butjadingen Germany (near Bremerhaven) in NW Germany. Seemingly it was ringed on it’s spring migration back on route back to it’s breeding grounds, and we’re hoping the ringers are going to get back to us to provide a map highlighting where some of our wintering brents go to breed…..just so long a sthe tag is still working! The Glossy Ibis flock were on flooded fields next to the Wareham bypass again, tucked in the eastern corner of the floods just north of the bypass. There were 2 Pochard on the Wareham Common floods just south of the bypass below the Doctors surgery. In Lytchett Bay this morning 2 White-tailed Eagle were seen over Otter Island.
