LINTON LANE 14th NOVEMBER






A bean goose had been seen at linton by abbey meadows and an iceland gull so i decided to get up there as this would be another lifer for me and after a muddy hike to the hide i was not disapointed and managed to get these shots, no sign of iceland gull though.
does anyone no the origin of this goose?

It is believed to be the wandering Bean goose that has been seen at various sights throughout the county over the past year. Many believe it is genuinely wild and came in last year but didn't return to its's breeding grounds.
