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.
