    There was a Red-breasted goose around in February resported from a few locations, but Is aw it at Blue House Farm (EWT). It was among a small number of whitefronted geese at the time. Is it likely to be the same bird having flown North for the summer and returned?

Managed to see a Coal Tit at Hanningfield last Saturday and had excellent views of Goldcrests in the hedge between the path and the field heading towards the hides. Didn't need the binoculars! Went back on Thursday 'in the big blow' and...
