I managed to find a gap in the rain on Monday to get to the Tayock Hide dry, not so on the return, you'll hear the rain in the Barnacle video. Even video was a trial in the conditions but I was surprised to get the Barnacle Goose given where it was and how far (on tripod and shielded from the wind).
I researched the Pintails moult, the three in the video appear to be male, the brown one which I'd thought might be a female has some grey plumage coming in and a photo of the hybrid at Keptie Pond proves it is male.
