North of Penrith we broke out into the brightness, ariving half ten'ish at Caerlaverock WWT we had a great day, I actually allowed the sun to burn out the highlights of a Whooper Swan (maybe in next post).
Monday morning we spent at Mereshead RSPB, the only people there for a time, great light. These shots are of Barnacle Geese at Mereshead.
The Solway Firth hosts the entire popultaion of Barnacle Geese from Svalbard. The numbers involved make it a wildlife spectacle and here in the uk.

Very nice images, of beautiful birds. What are the birds in your banner called? Have a good day~!
Hi Mary
thanks for your comment. In the banner Red Legged Partridge as per my previous post. Have a nice day too.
These are some great images of this super little goose Mike. I have only ever seen about 3 together at any one time. What a privilege to see all these.
Thanks Roy they are real characters too, always chatering. There was a small flock at Minsmere last month when we visited but on the Solway total nos. are over 30,000 each year I believe.
Awesome shots of the Geese!
Thanks Eileeen
