6th January: Barnacle geese

One of the Reserve's many winter avian visitors, the Barnacle goose, can still be seen here now. A brilliant place to see them is Budle Bay - you can park at the layby next to the white railings and view them from here. After a massive influx of over 7000 in September, between 400 - 700 have remained throughout the winter months.

Here are some spectacular photos of these geese, taken by one of our volunteers.
