So, today my destination was Southport to try my luck with the snow goose.
When I arrived a message came from from Stuart Derbyshire saying that the bird had flown off the marsh and landed in a stubble fields close to the pumping station, I wasn't quick enough to see it here but it was relocated around the corner off Water Lane.The bird was associating with around 20 pink feet and despite the strong winds and poor weather it was particularly mobile, fling between the fields around Crossons.
Thanks again to Stuart Derbyshire for the gen. Big help, as usual.
