Cutting my losses, I headed to Collingham, bagging 4 Goosander and 7 Siskin as new for year species. The Silt Lagoon was wader-central, with 10 Curlew, 12 Redshank and a Green Sand. Onwards to Meering, where there wasn't much, but after a third scan of the Greylag flock on Smithy Marsh from Meering I noticed a Pink-footed Goose. I decided to get a closer look, venturing off-patch, and in doing so, came across a party of 7 Eurasian White-fronts - 2 adults and 5 juvs - and a second Pink-foot. I back-tracked to the raised bank at Meering so I could get the White-fronts on my patch list! Very nice.
