35 south this morning over Higher End, Billinge at 09:47. Thirteen of these broke off and flew E, with the rest turning back in to West Lancs (at one point 28 separate skeins were visible in the air over West Lancs and the Sefton Coast)
A good-sized flock of Pink-footed Geese in several skeins went over Fairywell Wood on the Timperley/Wythenshawe border high approx west at about 5.25pm. A very quick, rough count came out at c. 350, give or take 50 or so. One of the larger groups i've seen over the years i think.
