15 Pink-Footed Geese in ploughed field next to Little Woolden Moss. Could be same ones that were headed SE over Ashton-in-Makerfield mentioned below by Dave Broome.

See poor photo attached taken in gloomy conditions.

 Could well be and as I counted them with naked eye as they flew quickly over our house I may have mis-counted
