A quiet afternoon
December is not the most active of months other than pinning down wintering raities. However other than the White-Fronted Goose this year even these have been few and far between. The Goose continues to wander about Badaan, still wary it is at least getting easier to photograph.

One surprise today were the Sand Martins and Swallow hawking over the fields, but are they early returnees or just late departing for warmer climes further south.

Swallow Hirundo rustica
The family group of Rosy Starings are also still around, as a species they are an irregular visitor often when occuring in large numbers, these have now been around since September.
