Pink-Foot Geese at Martin Mere

Spent the afternoon at Martin Mere WWT Wetland Centre and saw an amazing assortment of birds, including thousands of migrating Icelandic Pink-Foot Geese and Whooper Swans. Unfortunately we couldn't stay until dusk when around 20,000 pink foot geese fly onto the Mere from the surrounding fields, where they spend their daylight hours. A few pink foots can be seen in the photo below which I took around 3.30 p.m. today. http://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/martin-mere/
