I was about to visit Little Marlow GP when news came through of three White-fronted Geese at Dorney. These had been found by Berkshire birder Dave Carter. So a change in plan to see these scarce county birds.
I arrived to see Graham Smith about to leave. The birds were in with a flock of about 220 Canada Geese, a couple of Greylags, which a group of Egyptian Geese nearby.
White-fronted Geese is a scarce bird in Buckinghamshire with the last record in Feb/Mar 2017 and they were in the north of the county. The last record in the south of the county was way back in Feb/Mar 2013 when there were two at Dorney Common.
