Post 2010-03-02 AM: Mill Lakes
This morning I biked it for the Pink-footed Goose that's been grazing with the Greylags in the fields between Mill Lakes and Moor Road. Most of flock were in the field nearest the lake (Morris's Field), and the bird in question was indeed present. This is the first non-flyover PFG that's been at Bestwood CP since I started birding here. Nice light this morning, but had to rush off to work before I could make the most of it. I think it's generally present throughout the day, including mid-afternoon, so go and see it whilst you have such a great opportunity! It should be relatively easy to see with optics as it's roughly 2/3 the size of any of the other geese, and it has a very dark head and bill.
