As the weather starts to become more wintery, more Geese have appeared, with sightings of White-fronted Goose at Backworth and Holywell, and a single Bean Goose at Holywell on Sunday 17th.
As temperatures dropped below freezing, the pond froze at Holywell apart from a small section in front of the public hide, close to the island. Here a Mandarin which has been present for the past couple of weeks, remains, resting in front of the public hide.
