I first came across this pair of geese back in the winter of 2013 and they have bred on the Tarn every year since becoming regular sightings on my walks.
This is that first post
This afternoon as it was bright and sunny although still quite cold I went for a walk around the Tarn. Quite a lot of activity and bird numbers are certainly up on the past week. Good numbers of Tufted Ducks and Moorhen and lots of small birdsong, mainly Blue Tits and Great Tits.
