    There were a couple there on 30 March last year Brian - in the field below the car park - by then had been there a few days so looks like this time of year is good for them

    I did at the time - with a photo! Not there now because deleted in the cull when complaints were made about photos on the blog

    I have no record of European race White-fronted Goose in Montgomeryshire in 2013. In fact the only county record of White-fronted Goose in 2013 was a pair of Greenland race at Dolydd Hafren on 19th March. If anyone has any photos of these birds that they can forward to me, that would be much appreciated.
