On Sunday a Tundra Bean Goose was found by Tony B on Wanstead Flats. It was among a mixed flock of Greylag and Egyptian Geese.
When it was reported early this morning Brian texted to say he was heading over there. He picked me up on the way and we were parked in the car park off Aldersbrook Road by 9.15. The flock had been reported west of Alexandra Lake, but only four Egyptian Geese were present when we arrived. We walked south behind the lake and located the goose flock on one of the football pitches in the distance. The Bean Goose was quickly found among them.
We stood with a group of six birders watching from a distance and the flock seemed relaxed and settled until a dog off the lead ran straight through the flock and up they went!
They flew off east but circled back and landed on Alexandra Lake.
